Did Avatars Just Vanish?

Joy

I feel as though we are now all equal.

Yep..

I got an alert the forum software was updated. Then it was 501: Bad Gateway for a few seconds then 503: Overloaded for ~15 seconds. Now I'm back with no avatars but the top left profile one.

Those errors are normal when a NodeBB system is being reloaded and is behind a proxy.

Ah, I assumed it was on my end. That is good to know.

Oddly I can still see my icon in the user context menu.

For the record, my forum is on NodeBB master (not 9.1 though I believe they are the same atm) and Gravatars work just fine.

Can Gravatar get overloaded or does it have a limit on how many requests per time unit it accepts? Or does each individual connection request the Gravatar image directly from Gravatar?

I have attempted to

change my Avatar FROM Gravity-Face to the one uploaded eons ago and the changes button does nothing
change my Avatar FROM Gravity-Face to "Default Icon"and the changes button does nothing

I believe that a service may have crashed on the ML server

^ supports my crash theory.

Gravatar itself is fine. The issue is local..

Can you roll back to a previous version? Avatars aren't critical so it may be an off hours thing just wondering if that process is available.

@scottalanmiller how long did this take ML to do? I clicked the upgrade button on my forum like 5 minutes ago now. The plugin is still spinning upgrade.

Felt normal, not sure what that is but you know... 5-10 seconds or so.

I'd avoid that upgrade

Manually fell back to 1.0.3, works again.

Reloaded the page and it showed 1.04. reload forum and I still have gravatars.

I did try other browsers to be sure it was not cached.
