Can't see my avatar

I was using the Core Theme and I could see my avatar in my messages as a visitor, and when I was logged in as admin.

Since I installed a new theme, I can see my avatar in my messages as a visitor, when I am not logged in, but when I am logged in as admin, I can't see it. I see only the standard image like you can see on the image attached.

Today I installed a test forum only to see if it would work, and it works perfectly.

I have no idea what I did to cause this.

Any ideas?

umm.....    since a default avatar is not part of core SMF 2.0.x, did you install a mod?

No. I only installed the Like IPB Theme from Diego. And it was after this that this began to happen.

I asked Diego and he could not reproduce the error on his test forum, so I thought it was something related to SMF.

I attach a list of the installed mods. The three last ones were the optimus, alternate user posting and afguo, but, I am almost sure they were already installed before installing the new theme.

Edited: The image belongs to the IPB theme, it's called "noavatar". I deleted the image and now obviously Idon't see it but, also not my avatar.

If it's not a separate mod, and if that default image is included in the theme - It would be logical to assume the theme has a "default avatar" function within it, and that you should probably ask the theme author about this.
But to confirm - If you change back to the default theme, can you see your avatar? And are there no default avatars then for users without a custom avatar?

I changed to the Core Theme, and than to default theme, and in both happens the same. I can see my avatar on my profile and in the message as a guest. As soon I login, I can't see in the message.

Now I remembered that a few days ago I deleted something related to the avatars. I don't know if it was on the admin panel or in the server, because I decided that the members would not use avatars, only me, but, now I don't remember what I deleted. I already looked in the trash folder in the server, but, I don't see there any folders or files related to avatars.

I already deleted my avatar a few times and uploaded again, and I have the same results. I see it on my profile but not in my messages. As guest, i see it.

Use the "View page source" option in your browser to see what's being inserted as html for your avatar image.

Additionally, right click where you expected your avatar to show and use the browser inspection tool to see if any console or network errors are being reported.

The image on top was logged in as admin. The one at the bottom was as a guest. I only hid the domain.

Below are the warnings when I used the browser inspection tool logged in as admin.

No errors, only warnings.

Edited: Ok, looking at the code in these screenshots, I see that one is taking the image from the theme's images folder, and the other one from the attachments folder, but I don't see my avatar there.

Then I remembered that a few days I was looking at the database where I could clean the cache of pretty urls, and then I saw there something about the avatars and I think it was there that i deleted something. Maybe a table or tables? If it was there, can I find and restore deleted db tables?

No, I just compared both dbs and the one that I installed today looks equal. I am confused now.

I tried now a default avatar that comes with SMF default theme, and it happens exactly the same as with my custom avatar.

Any ideas about this? What may be the problem here? Like I said above, the default avatars are available, but when I chose one of them, it happens exactly the same in all three themes I have installed, default, core and LikeIPB.

Thanks

Deleted what?  A file?  Some code in a file?  Unless you have a lot of customizations, best bet is to upload clean files and reinstall mods.

Like I said, I am not sure anymore. It was not a file because I can't find anything related in the trash. A piece of code is unlikely because I would not do it by myself, as I do not have enough knowledge to just decide to delete some piece of code.

I have about 10 Mods and I am so sick of this that I do not have patience to uninstall and install everything again.

The screenshots I attached above with the page source code do not give any hints?

Interesting observation in your screenshots.

When seen as guest, 'class="avatar"' appears in the avatar <img> tag. When logged in, the class is suppressed.

Might be worth a ganders at your Display.template.php to see why this is happening.

As this is happening in all three themes installed, Default, Core and LikeIPB , I will attach the three files.

I am using now the LikeIPB theme.

Thank you for looking into this.

And another bump. Maybe I have more luck today and someone looks at the files and maybe can see if there is something wrong with them.

If it's happening in different themes that each have their own Display.template.php (Curve & Core), problem may be in Display.php.

Thanks for the response. I attached here the display.php file.

File works fine in Curve and Core.  Logging any forum errors?  Server errors?  Have you tried clearing forum and browser cache?  Different browser?  Change cookie name?

Where did you get Like IPB theme?  Not finding it on theme site.

The only error that may be related to this issue is the one on the error2 attachment, but I already looked at SMF original files, and there isn't any cache/images file. However I have a few errors like this one on the error log.

Quote from: Sir Osis of Liver on November 26, 2021, 09:51:43 PMServer errors?

No server errors.

Quote from: Sir Osis of Liver on November 26, 2021, 09:51:43 PMHave you tried clearing forum and browser cache?

Yes, maybe 10 times, without success.

Quote from: Sir Osis of Liver on November 26, 2021, 09:51:43 PMDifferent browser?

Yes, I tried with Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera and Brave(a new one). Also tried several times, cleaned the cache, tried again, without success.

Quote from: Sir Osis of Liver on November 26, 2021, 09:51:43 PMChange cookie name?

This I didn't try because in things I do not understand, I don't touch. I didn't know I can change this.

It's one of Diego Andrés Themes. You can find it here: https://demo.smftricks.com/index.php?theme=54

Have you tried https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php/en ?

In addition to finding errors, it can be used to change the cookie name. I'd fix any errors it suggests ...
