My avatar quit rotating just on the last two days of the world cup. Can anyone help me fix this?

I'm assuming your using IE,go to tools,internet options,advanced in multimedia check that play videos and play animations are ticked if your using a different browser post the name of it,also delete temp internet files you'll have to log onto MG again and let animation be reloaded

It must be a prob with your browser as its spinning for me

 

its rotating here in my OPERA browser

 

Hi Rikki <go france>
I just changed to Firefox, and that's probably when it stopped rotating. I checked Firefox for these settings, but can't find them. I'll try the delete temp files and see if that helps. At least I'm glad to know everyone else is getting it.
Thanks!

yes, my firefox browser settings look just like the ones in the picture.
my computer has quirks ... and they're growing.
for instance, I can get people's posts in my e-mail notifications, however, when I link to those threads, the posts aren't there. The e-mail notifications were backed up until I ran CCleaner, and then they all came at once, but I've never had the experience that something posted in an e-mail notification wasn't posted in the thread when I linked to it. That's brand new!

Weird.
In IE, it's rotating.
In Firefox, just as the page loads, it rotates maybe 1/8 turn and then stops.
My FF settings are the same also.

 

Cleared my private data in FF and it started rotating again but faster. Hang on for dear life!

 

what is FF?
abri
oh ... Firefox? if so, where is the private data?

 

okay, I think I'm getting part of the picture here. The e-mail notifications are notifying me of posts and private messages which have been removed from the Forum. Is that it? And this problem is not in any way related to the Avatar problem.

Under Tools, right above Options.

 

Will that get rid of my bookmarks? That would be a great disaster for me.
Much worse than a non-revolving avatar.
abri ...
oh!!! it's rotating again hahahahahaha
oops ... now it's stopped
<weep weep>

okay, one last comment. I went into the Major Geeks avatar list and all the balls are rotating except the soccer ball. That it was rotating a few seconds ago must mean it's some problem with the avatar itself and not with my browser.

This one rotating

 

its really rotating

Rotating fine here. Methinks it is an individual computer malf.

Sheesh, this has stired a lot of replies.

 

have you try to uninstall and reinstall your FF?


infoseeker

 

No.

 

It's working now, thank you. It seemed to have been a problem in the Major Geeks webpage of Avatars, although it only affected me and I seemed to be the only one who could see it. I went in and looked, and all the other balls (baseball, basketball, football/rugby ball) were rotating fine. I tried out the baseball. No problem. I had a lot of strange stuff yesterday, like my e-mail notifications not coming. When they did come, and I clicked on some of the links, Zone Alarm kept popping up with a warning that someone was trying to break into my computer. I found that odd coming from this particular website. Oh, and it just quit rotating again. Is there such a thing as harassment?

And now there is no soccer ball at all among the avatars in the Major Geeks avatar choices. Is the soccer ball missing at anyone else's Major Geeks Avatars that you get to through your profile?
abri

 

Just looked and that ball is on page 3 and still going like mad.
Mine's not listed anymore.

 

I made a screenshot, which shows that the soccer ball is gone, but I don't know how to resize it, so I can upload it. Is there a way to get a screenshot to store as a jpg file?

Whoa! Wait a minute! LOL There is a small vb bug, conflict if you will, where certain images for unknown reasons will either all of a sudden stop showing up completely or as in your case abri, stop animating.

This is a pretty random occurrence and is not necessarily browser specific but we have been fiddling with this and scratching our heads over it for quite some time. For example I cannot see some of the profile pictures anymore (G.T., N56's, etc)..I see a red X..however sometimes if I fire up opera I can see it. I can no longer see Kodo's avatar either...I get a red X...and some of the images in the malware removal guides, even ones I uploaded myself give me a red X but others see them fine....it's random.

We've played around with it...Halo, MA, chas, SPD & I can all go to the same page (OS & browser choice does not matter) and only 2 or 3 of us will see an image and the rest won't or all but 1 of us will.

Hopefully this and a few other minor bugs will be fixed in the next release of vb.

 

Oh, Sorry! Here you are over here at this thread I just posted to you at the other one. I'm glad to know that, because when several things happen all at once, I begin to think they might be connected, when they often aren't.
Thanks!

My own strategy for this was to copy my written text to the clipboard before I posted it, in case I ended up at the logged out or the invalid thread messages. Then I could re-log in and reinsert the text. The only problem was, I was never sure if it was then posting twice.

And as an added piece of the puzzle. My avatar, which was missing from the MG Avatar list this morning, appears in all the threads, but in some of the threads I can see it rotating and in others it isn't. I don't know if that information helps. I had thought it stopped altogether, but it seems to depend on when I posted.

I think it's just a local phenomenon in certain individual PCs' browser caches. When I viewed this thread, the avatar moved for about 1 second and stopped. My fix was this: In Mozilla, and, I assume, Firefox as well, right click on the avatar and select View Image. Hold down Shift and hit Refresh. Press browser back button. Now it's looping endlessly again.
