COULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THEY SEE AS MY AVATAR PLEASE

Know it sounds a strange question, but if I look at the site from my phone I see a pic of some middle eastern gentlemen, a pic I have never seen before.   If I look at it on here, I see my rose painting?   WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is looking at the same post at the same time.

Anyone?

Two men and a woman who looks like she's eating a sheet????

This is what I see

I don't understand Sassy.

Haven't you put that picture as your new avatar? Why else would it be there?

(I prefer the lovely rose picture personally but that is neither here nor there)

Bloody hell, she's not going to say she been hacked is she?!

Shh don't mention Hackergate I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!

Thanks Eddie, that's what I see from my phone, have no idea where it came from, but on my computer what I see my rose picture.

In fact, all the way down this thread, I see my rose picture. I have asked texted KD and asked him to text me when he is free so he can link to my computer and see what the hell is going on.

No I haven't, and on this computer I still see the rose. It was only because I looked at the site from my phone that I saw what you see.

Right, I'm going to unplug my computer and turn my rooter off until KD can have a look at it for me.

Hi Sassy,

on my 'puter it shows the rose - on my phone it shows the soldiers.

That is odd.
If you didn't put it there - that would be highly suspicious.

" “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”

Not my intelligent reading..................

Done Didge and copied and pasted.............. 

" “People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for...

They don't find it," I answered.

And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

Of course," I answered.

And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.”

The rose is gone.

On both my phone and laptop I see the other picture. If you didn't put it there it makes no sense at all.

I thought the exact same thing!

Why is that lady trying to eat a bed sheet??  

Because the pic is quite small you can't really see what's going on,it's an interesting avatar.I thought Sassy must have had some reason for choosing it (but it turns out she didn't put it there.)

I have just realised there is a woman lying down in that bed.I had to squint to see it.Old age is clearly creeping up on me.  

 

IT might depend on whether the first image had been "hotlinked" from another person's album on a another site; or if the image is stored on sassy's computer first and uploaded from there...

IF an image is only "hot linked" to, it remains vulnerable to having the original image's "owner" deleting , moving or changing it..

TO avoid that risk, I upload my avvie's from a file on my computer, rather than downloading from somebody else's album.

The picture appears to originate from a site called illiweb.com. Forumotion have had issues with them before - use a Google search for it.
I wonder whether it's origin is Turkish?  

 

IT may still prove to be something as simple as the former image's "owner" removing that image from their album and replacing it with the 'new' photo, on that illiweb.com site.

Now that is very weird
Visit the site using chrome and i see the rose as your avatar
But in Firefox its that strange picture?? Sorry I have no idea and it seems not confined to your computer



Very strange??

well i fixed it for sass

but to be honest i have no idea what was going on
In Firefox the image was "image23" hosted on serving and that was the image displayed as her avatar

But in chrome the image shown as her avatar was her rose
Uploaded from her computer to iserving and a totally different file name

i/we  reset her avatar in her profile/avatar preferences and this eems to have fixed it  

its a new one on me ???

Anybody else still seeing not the rose??

Perhaps she should be a little more careful where she goes researching, she could pick up something, like a virus and we don't want another hacking farce do we?

the old woman is wrapping the body on the table in a shroud
a man is in the background bent over in apparent grief being held by the other two men

Thanks KD. As you weird, my rose if from my computer from my pictures and the shroud thing was from a website I've never head of. Very odd.

I think it is an image of Dean and Allakaka wrapping a shroud of death around Hugh, before encarcerating him to eternal hell in a sarcphogus without access to the internet!

I saw it last night using my kindle.....thought it was a bit strange but today the rose is backed.

Hey Sass,I can clearly see a black coloured rose on a white background.Is it from a chocolate box picture?

I realised the lady was dead after I had written that.

It's actually an interesting avatar!

deleted post due to posting it in the wrong thread

Why doesn't Andy stop being silly and come back,whatever way he manages to do it??

Flouncing from a site where we are treated as well as we are here is daft,no body tampered with Andy's post and he is able to put his point of view across.

There are some bloody awful forums about where people are treated as if they are not even human,so sorry to flounce from here in my view is just... wearing big silly petticoats

It's a pity that he's felt forced to leave.

A lilac rose.

How did he feel 'forced'?

I thought Ben just changed the title of his post.His OP remained unchanged.

Curiously, you girlie's imagine Fluffy in her pretty petticoat, us lecherous old buzzards try to imagine Fluffy NOT wearing it.
Not that I can remember why!

umm i was thinking of BA in petticoats and a big ole Scarlett O'Hara hat tied under the chin

but id wager fluffy has better legs

Probably a dead heat between BA's battered pins and my knobbly by knees.
I am sure Fluffs looks splendid with or without her petticoat.

Is this issue resolved? I checked on desktop and phone and saw the same image (rose painting) on both.

Dunno Fluff but it seems to be the general impression amongst other posters.

I never took him as a person who could be forced to do anything

Hi Cass, KD sorted it for me, but even he can't work out how or why it happened.

I appreciate that Andy.

I do enjoy wearing a nice petticoat   

So just so people know i PM buttercup re this topic


Hi
I am the guy that fixed this for sassy
The problem
As I only use Firefox it was not something that I was aware of

She apparently was looking at the site on her phone and noticed that the avatar was not the one she expected "the rose" but a picture of a death scene
She made a post asking about this on the forum
And others were seeing the image and others like myself saw the rose

I am a computer engineer and she asked me for advice and help


In Firefox her avatar was the rose avatar she uses and had uploaded to the image serving service   that FM uses

However, when the same page was displayed (at the same time) in the Chrome browser  what appeared as her avatar was the death scene

Personally, I can't think of a logical reason why the two platforms displayed different avatars

With Sassys permission i used a program called "team viewer"
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

I remotely connected to her computer and checked her preferences
The avatar she had selected and that was displayed in the avatar box was her rose picture

It had a long file name typical of camera photos 0002323332413.jpg for example

I checked the file name of the picture displayed in chrome (the death scene) the file was called image23.jpg

Kind of weird I thought and i can't explain it

To try and resolve the issue I asked her to upload her desired avatar (the rose )again
I watched her do via remote desktop

And straight away in chrome (after refresh ) the avatar icon had changed to the rose
And other posters reported the same thing

As both platforms would get their information from the same place I can't think of a " bug" that would fit the scenario  



If anything I would consider this a bug, report (it certainly happened )

Afterwards Ben advised I changed my password, but when doing so, the page wouldn't recognise my password to change it, said the database didn't recognise it, even though it had allowed me to log in with it, and no, I hadn't made a mistake, put it in very carefully three times.   Ben had to email me a new one, which, once I re-logged on, I changed again.

And thanks for PMing Buttercup.

That sounds familiar, Sassy. Happened to me too, as Ben can confirm.

Yep, our security gets tampered with, and we get blamed for complaining. Perhaps we should get help from 'Victim Support'

Sorry Handy Andy, couldn't resist this.  I'm all over excited about going out
