When I bring up the Avatar Selection page on Infopop, I see “Custom Avatar” to the right of “Avatar Set”. “Custom Avatar” doesn’t appear on this forum, nor on BM’s forum, but it use to, at least on this forum.
And, has anyone noticed that I no longer rock? 
You're rockin' fine at this end Mrs. M.
Rockin' & rollin'

quote:Their work around is to turn private messaging back on! So that isn't much of a work around. Obviously they musta had some strange bug in their system that if you turned off private messaging that the searches stopped working. In any case I'm very glad that searching will be working again in their next release.
There is a work-around, though. If Sara wants it, she will need to put in a support ticket, and we will give her instructions on how to implement it.
BTW if anyone wanted to archive any of their old private messages let me know and I can turn the feature back on for a day you can agree on so anyone that wants can get in and grab them.
quote:Strange because it comes up for me when I click on any of your profiles. Perhaps thats because I'm a board admin though. It's hard for me to test because of that. I'll go and try setting up a test account so I can play around with it and get that working. It was working and I'm pretty sure I didnt change anything that would have turned that off.

See I knew I wasnt crazy. I went in to our admin area and found this:
The other two choices are:
quote:I have it turned on, just like I said....
Avatar Selection -
Use Avatar Sets and Allow Custom Avatars
The other two choices are:
quote:I have the first one set to use avatar sets, and allow custom avatars... ug. perhaps another infopop quirk. Maybe I should just wait till search is working in their next release and see if this stars working too.
Use Avatar Sets Only
Use Custom Avatars Only
quote:I'm jealous! We've filed 3 bug reports there over the past few months and the average time has been about 8-10 hours. Still pretty good though. Perhaps using their message boards is faster than filing a trouble ticket.
WOW - they were quick.
I sent the query through at 3.24pm and received this email at 3.30pm.
Once the search feature is working again I've got a fun little quest planned for some free snipes!
Sounds Interesting Sara.
Really, Gardengnome, I am still rocking? I am suspended in space here! Lol!
Still Rocking here too, Mrs M 
Lol, guess I need to give my puter a wack!!
quote:Democracies aren’t all that efficient (hard to get more than one person to agree). With that said, my “vote” would be for Sara to announce a date, any date, allowing for a 7 day heads-up notice, then “Hasta La Vista, Baby (Private messages/email)”.

RIP Private Topics.

BTW, it would be interesting to see if searches return with PT turned on. How about this thought? Why not turn PT on and leave on until the search glich (with PTs OFF) is fixed? Seems like a really easy work-around fix of the search bug!
quote:I vote YES! I would also like PT left on for more than a day in case I don't have time to do reading/archiving I'd like to do on the "chosen day".

Another thought -- since the PT OFF & search bug (two seemingly unrelated, but nevertheless apparently interacting, features) seems to be the case; might turning ON PT bring back Custom avatars??? 
Just putting forth a testable theory....

on Infopop I have “Can upload avatars to site” checked - on AS I don’t.
Trust us... it's not there...
There is no way to upload anything. This is the screen I get when I try. (mine works, cuz I uploaded before the problem started)
Notice the lack of 'custom'.

I've been trying every few days, and that's all I get, too. 
ok, i turned on private messaging. See if the avatars work. I suppose the fricking search will work too. I'm going to turn it off again sometime next week after Infopop has done their update.
