NOOOOO! Not my “Banned” user card background. ;-;
Something with the database which I would believe him on. This is Discourse’s biggest instance so we tend to stress test things.
I was wondering about the usercards and profile backgrounds as well.
Hey @orenwolf can we get a better technical explaination here please?
Surely you’re joking.
It’s not just here, it’s also hit Elsewhere.
EDIT:
The usercard removal, that is
Update:
Guess it didn’t hit elsewhere, just here.
stops cloning git repo
I still have my user card elsewhere, but lost it here around the time we started losing images, so I assumed it was related and maybe just not fixed yet.
Edited to add: when I go to edit my profile, it shows my user card image is still there, it just doesn’t show up on my profile. Which is odd… but I don’t program so I can’t explain it.
So I dug into it a little further, seems like one of the rented amazon servers responsible for hosting images here was changed and the part of Discourse that points to it didn’t get the memo. Observe:

not sure where in this instance you need to update the file host name location, but yeah, probably needs to be done.
I love that orb but I would take a sobering 10°F over a lobotomizing ninety-whatever-the-fuck°F it is right now where I am.
You Pacific Northwesterners, of course, almost never deal with either (nor, for that matter, the shiny glow orb itself about sixty percent of the year).
Heh, I’m adding Discourse System Stress Tester to my resume.
It’s been getting far worse year-over-year thanks to “#fakenews not real climate change”.
We have three seasons now — winter, spring, and forest fires.
I’ll let the Discourse folks know.
Usercard fix is checked-in and should appear over here shortly:
Yup, my user card profile card is back up. Thank you all very much!
