…and our theory is that we have to delete OSG’s membership, and attribute all her comments to her alter ego, which she has; and then she will rejoin as OSG, with that icon, and then I will wipe her alter ego, attritbuting all alterego’s comments to OSG.
So…OSG, whenever you’re ready, we will attempt electronic shape-shifting. The faceless lady steps into the box, lights flash, she disappears, then reappears gloriously green.
When I have a brain tomorrow morning—the one I’m using right now is worn out—if it hasn’t propagated, I’ll get in and look at the situation behind the curtain. I may need to revise which e-mail account is which.
I remain green only in 11:59. No propagation yet.
But, the white on white is so tasteful and propitious!
I wonder if they’ve tagged that particular bit-stream as copyrighted marterial?
I’m brilliant!
Now, Chakaal, YOUR problem. Let me investigate. Do you have a second e-mail account? e-mail me if you need to discuss an alternate identity you don’t want made public.
But AFAIK, the difficulty with OSG rested in having 2 accounts, 2 identities. Gravatar attaches the image to a particular e-mail account, but can get confused if you switch things on it, and each change takes hours, apparently, to propagate.
Your first step is to go into gravatar.com and be sure that your e-mail account IS what it has you on record as being. If you change anything, be prepared to wait half a day on each change: apparently you can confuse it if you make multiple changes in succession.
Once we’re sure your gravatar is correctly loaded and aimed at the right account, that’s step one. Step two may be to pare down its choices if you have a lot of avatars loaded, and get it down to the one you do want. Keep me posted on this.
Any of the rest of you who have avatar envy, go into gravatar.com and use what we’re doing as a how-to for modifying your appearance. But please be patient and careful with the process. Multiple people having scrambled avatars is a lot of account-blitzing and re-establishing!
I have two addresses, and I was very careful to make sure I had the right gravatar loaded up on their site for each one.
The change I made yesterday to one of my existing avatars worked pretty quickly, the OSG test never did come through. I am on a different computer to eliminate the cache issue and I have just re-set my gravatar to my favorite one, so we’ll see if that goes any faster!
You are now showing as a person! Good job!
I have to think the file is a problem somehow. Either that or a “new” avatar issue – my copy of the OSG didn’t go visible in half a day, yet my existing one took nearly no time at all!
Spence says that because he has a white gryphon, but it’s on a blue background. Glad you got OSG’s avatar back. Hopefully, this won’t happen to anyone else after you get chakaal’s fixed, er, back to what it was…..;)
Yipeeee! I’m green again! I’m green!
Welcome back, Your Greenness! 🙂 😀 😆
I do like that Orion slave girl! Green looks so nice on her.
Yippee! It’s not easy being green, but for some ppl, green is in! OSG is properly green again. Now all she needs is…a shrubbery. 😉
