Avatar issue: What pic can you see as I ask this question?

Looks like a Black man in a mask.

Thanks, yeah that’s what I see, trouble is, it’s not what I selected.
What can you see when you click on my profile @janbb…sorry to be a pest, but I gotta know.

Same thing. Did you click on “Change my avatar” or “upload” after you checked the one you want?

There lies the issue, I see a different pic, the one I last chose & no matter which photo I select it selects this mask guy, really weird. Hopefully someone in the know will solve the puzzle, cheers though.
Yeah, did everything as normal, even cleared cache.

Just changed mine. Had to click under it and then click “Choose” on the bottom. you did both?

I did, only selects the mask guy, it changes with the default jelly pics fine, but I don’t want them, mainly because they’re hideous.

Aha – life sucks, doesn’t it? :-)

Ha, it’s a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things, but for someone who changes his avatar as often as his pants, it’s a tad frustrating.
Nice pic by the way, would you be very offended if I told you it reminds me of Billie Jean King?
Please don’t smack me…too hard ;-}

I’ll hit you with my racquet.

“Warning, code violation Miss Janbb…advantage ucme.”

Love all!

Whoa…fucked up. I see you typing an answer right now with an avatar of a mouse and gopher or something in front of the British flag, but your answers up there show a black avatar…the mouse is also in your profile if I click on it.

This happened to a user before though…I think it fixed itself eventually.

And when I close my eyes, I see a bunch of Satanists dressed like my mom.

@Symbeline See, now we’re getting somewhere dudette, the DangerMouse you see as I type this & in my profile, is what I want seeing as though I just selected the fucker.
It’s like a scene from some bizarre fucked up Bolivian snuff movie & it’s starting to disturb me greatly…help me obi wan, you’re my only hope XD

Maybe try deleting the black avatar from your avatar selection? (that is, if you haven’t tried this already)

I already did, it’s not even in my bloody photo stream, not anymore…that fuckin masked git has cursed my account like some twisted voodoo bastard!

Cheers for trying anyway @Symbeline like I say, hopefully someone who works here or whatever will turn up sooner or later with a viable fix, i’m a patient man.

Contact augie and show her. That’s weird.

I see the black girl with the mask as the avatar, but in your profile I see both, with Danger Mouse the larger pic.

Same as @filmfann for me

@ucme The Fluther Gods got you ! ~ ~ Try clearing your cache and cookies, then from a cold start try again.

This did happen to someone else in the past, but I can’t remember what the issue was or how it was solved. I’ll be sure to let Ben know, and see if we he can work some magic.

I see the black person.

@Tropical_Willie Seems the fluther gods are a belligerent bunch of so & so’s…already cleared cache/cookies…truly is a head scratcher.
I find myself utterly reliant on a dude i’ve had absolutely zero interaction with, good luck there then :)

Django unchained!
Hey, does my little kitty Mia look like a cat or a goose in my avatar? :-P

This stubborn masked guy is from the trailer of the new Call of Duty game Ghosts, a definite case of ghosts in the machine.

So wait… you’re not a black girl with a mask on?!?!

Funny. That’s how I always pictured you.

^^You been smokin wacky backy again?

No, but I did just have some tiramisu with a lot of espresso in it.

@ucme that fuckin masked git has cursed my account like some twisted voodoo bastard!

LOL

…well, the twisted voodoo bastard is still there…:/

@ucme Okay om clearing but have you done a cold start after shutdown and wait two or three minutes.

I remember someone else having this problem, too, so I tried to find it. All I could find was this question. =)

But I know someone else had the same problem more recently.

This is the recent question I remember about this type of problem

The little picture is not what shows on your profile. The profile pic is a big tongue with a union jack on it. The little picture here is very dark and I can’t tell what it is. It isn’t the tongue though.

Have you tried logging out and logging back in again?

And you’ll notice @AshLeigh has the same problem.

It’s a conspiracy. Where is Robert Langdon when you need him???

Hiya folks, it’s me with voodoo biatch still lurking around like a bad smell :(
Everything suggested i’ve already done several times over, awfully nice of you all to try helping out, but problem continues & now my bottom lip has begun to cover the top lip in a really rather petulant fashion.

@glacial Yeah I remember now that you mention it, that was on a desktop though, I recently started using an i-Pad.

@hearkat Good sleuthing! That is the question I was looking for.

Okay face IT – - – @ucme you really pissed off the internet spirits.

Now you are permanently a voodoo witch doctor. ;>)

Have you taken the iPad off -ine while you try and fix the mumbo-jumbo ? ? ?

Another box ticked @Tropical_Willie, I guess i’ll just have to wait & see if it fixes itself…eventually.

I should add that all other photo requests are working fine, Twitter/Facebook/Skype etc…just here that’s being a pain.

Just embrace your inner black girl and be done with it.

It’s not a girl, but…err, I do like reggae.

Watched on another Q that you were answering and the “witch doctor” was not the avatar, what are you using right now for connecting to Fluther?? Have you shutdown everything you use to connect to the internet and started using just one unit?

Using iPad, both alternatives, laptop/xbox, currently shutdown.

It looks like you have a very nice smile… :-|

MAN you got something wrapped around the axle.
Try shutting down the iPad and using some one else’s computer long enough to do a generic Fluther avatar. That will show you can change avatars.

It’s the ghost in the machine!

@XOIIO Actually it’s a VooDoo Witch Doctor.

@XOIIO Already covered that up there.
@Tropical_Willie I appreciate you sticking around & all your suggestions, I can change no problem on my daughters laptop, but that’s HER’S & she ain’t having anyone using it…that’s me told then.

Now I’m seeing a default jelly avatar (orange one). Did you do that, or did it change on its own? On its own = Ben probably did it. :)

Now ucme, now you don’t!

I did that myself @augustlan out of sheer defiance, rather have an orange blob than the evil spirited masked maniac. Going to try changing it on a friend’s desktop later, here’s hoping.
@janbb Nah, ya can’t get rid of me that easily…moohoohaha!

Congratulations @ucme on getting it fixed!

Hey thanks @marinelife, i’m assuming you can see what I see then, both here & on my profile?
Seems such a silly thing to ask, but with recent shenanigans in mind.
I just uploaded on a mates desktop, cheers to him, still can’t change avatar here on iPad, just gives me mask man or default jellies, but i’m happy enough with DangerMouse for the time being :-)

DangerMouse is up and a running ! ! !

“He’s the greatest, he’s fantastic, wherever there is danger he’ll be there…” ahem, yeah good stuff :-)

Now icu!

“My, what big ears you have granducme!” :D

Danger Mouse in all his glory!

You fixed that bad mother! Capital, ol’ chap.

Yeah, got the sucka @Symbeline, just to tie up any confusion, heres what the ‘masked intruder looks like.
Not a girl, or a fucking teddy bear, beware…approach with extreme caution :/

Oh & look, there he is in action…I place a pox on you all :D

Aaaah! Call of duty! save me

Maybe you should use a real pic smarty pants. I want to see that evil grin!

For evil see cheeky, a smile that says honesty & integrity, a real gentleman…who just happens to be a randy bastard too :D

Besides which @KNOWITALL, as I say, this fix was only possible by changing my avatar on a mates desktop, my iPad still wont let me change, so i’m kinda stuck with DM…for now at least.
