Add your avatar!

Latest response

We've now restored the ability to add user avatars to your profiles under the new community platform.

Go ahead and add your avatar by accessing the Avatar tab on your user profile, and uploading your image.

Let me know if you run into any problems with this.

Hi, David -

I've attempted to add an avatar to my profile but it simply isn't showing up. I've tried .png and .jpg formatting (optimized for web), as well as sizing to 140px x 140px (also tried 180x180 to allow it to be resized to 140. The avatar/image still shows up as nothing more than a link on my profile that, yes, just links back to my profile page (no avatar). Any thoughts? Thx in advance!

John, I added the penguin one I used; mine did not immediately load either and about a day or two later it finally appeared.

Thx, Remmele -

I had assumed there might be a "lag" for approval/acceptance of the image, but I loaded mine over a week ago; it still isn't showing up. I surrender...

Hey guys, I'm not aware of any need for delay on uploading avatars or with any problems we know about. Will reach out to the developers. Thanks for the feedback!

Looks like we did find an issue! The developers are adding this to an upcoming sprint. Thanks for alerting us to this problem :)

Henry,

When can we expect an update on this "upcoming sprint"?
I do not exactly know what a "sprint" means in Red Hat development terms.

Kind regards,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra

Hey Jan Gerrit. We use an agile methodology that provides flexible iterations of short development cycles. It's a great way to get work done, but it's hard to make firm commitments. I can't guarantee when we'll see this go live, but I'm hoping in the next 3-4 weeks.

Hey Henry,

We will wait from an update from Red Hat.
What is a little strange, I see your avatar. So some part is working.

Kind regards,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra

I see Henry's avatar, mine but no others in this specific discussion...

Mine appears to be good from other discussions, tho I had one uploaded from the previous Boards/Discussions iteration.

Hey everyone,

The bug in question relates to users uploading their avatar, so anyone who already had one uploaded before this bug took place (about two weeks ago) has their avatar displayed.

The fix to this should be coming out with our latest update to the portal - which should go out this week.

Edit - the update went out as I was typing, avatars are up!

Great! Thanks, Travis.

much appreciated, Travis (et. al.)! I can now see my face ;p thx again

Hi Travis,

I uploaded the avatar "during" the bug I guess, still it is visible now.

Kind regards,

Jan Gerrit

Hey Jan,

The bug was not with upload itself, but some post-upload processing of the image. Once that was fixed everyone's avatar appeared since they had already been uploaded.

I had uploaded my avatar while the bug was enabled, as well.
