poll, do you miss the avatars?

[hclarkjr]

since they have been broke the last few days have you missed seeing them?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Where's the poll? Oh and, where's your avatar?

 

[hclarkjr]

it is showing for me

There it is! The forums are also very slow for me right now, about 10 seconds to load a page. It almost feels like dial-up.

I keep getting Database errors...

This. Talk about effectiveness of cloud systems. :whiste:

at least we are being entertained by perknoses witty comments at the top of the forum :biggrin:

 

[l0cke]

I can still see some.

 

[FoBoT]

you can change to one of the included ones

 

[MotF Bane]

Absolutely miss them, now I have to read names, instead of just recognizing avatars.

 

[sandorski]

The Noobs will never understand. Back in the good old days, we had little pics called Avatars. We posted and flamed like there was no tomorrow, never once truly appreciating what we had. Alas, those days are gone and along with it a little bit of our hearts.

I kept getting these as well. They stopped after I deleted my AnandTech cookies.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Did not even realize they were missing, but now that you mention it, yeah there is something wrong. At random some do show. Maybe the preset ones show but any custom ones don't, or something.

I had noticed lot of members with avatars that no longer had them but had just assumed they removed them for some reason.

Edit: And my santa hat squirrel one seems to be working, unless it's my cache playing tricks on me. I think I've had that one for years, never bothered changing it. LOL

 

[Ken g6]

I missed them so much that [post=32856195]I found a way to bring back all the ones in my browsing cache[/post]! Now I miss them...less.

 

[amdhunter]

Is mine working??

 

[Lanyap]

They are just lost in the cloud. Tech support will find them.

 

[djnsmith7]

Is mine working??

Nel.

There, there, waggy. We can get you a mirror placed next to your monitor and you won't notice the difference.

 

[Newbian]

I do as they were great places to find where your last post was so you can see what was new in the thread easier then looking at names.

hehe thats why i use that one. my kids say it looks like me

 

[Gothgar]

I mostly miss the speed the forums used to be, they are way the hell slower now.

Also, I used to tell who was posting crap just by their avatar, now I actually have to read names.

Kind of inconvenient

/firstworldproblems

 

[SparkyJJO]

Seems half are missing and half are still ok. I can still see mine, Gothgar's, waggy's, Newbian's, djnsmith7's avatars for example, but Born2bwire's, Ken g6's, Red Squirrel's, and sandorski's avatars are busted.

Who do we blame :hmm:

Yes, and all the hopes of no more messages of "Database is undergoing more routine 5-hour-long maintenance" were quickly dashed to pieces. The cloud just means that the errors can be generated far more efficiently.
