Missing letter avatars

AI-generated summary

Mkoll reports that letter avatars are missing on discourse.suttacentral.net, appearing as blank in Chrome and as an “X” in Edge, specifically for users without custom avatars. They’ve tried clearing cache and cookies without success. Zeemah suggests the site may need to be rebuilt due to recent NGINX changes required for letter avatar caching, referencing a prior notice by jomaxro. Mkoll confirms they’ll ask the admin, and in a follow-up post, notes the admin plans to rebuild the site the next day. The issue appears to stem from a server-side configuration requiring a rebuild to restore default letter avatars.

Hello,

I’m a regular forum member at discourse.suttacentral.net. Not so long ago, avatars have been missing, as in the picture below, the top is Chrome where they’ve disappeared and the bottom is Edge where they’re an “X.” It seems to only occur with users who haven’t uploaded a custom avatar, so the single capital letter that was showing before isn’t functioning. I’ve tried clearing cache, cookies, etc. Is there a fix for this?

Thank you.

Has the site been rebuilt as per:

I’m not sure. I will ask the admin.

Thank you.

They haven’t but say they’ll do so tomorrow.

Thanks again.
