As you can see [here](http://cms.di.unipi.it:8000/) avatars are not loading after upgrading to 1.4 beta.
The avatar src seems to be: `"/user_avatar/cms.di.unipi.it:8000/wil93/120/6_1.png"`, and it looks wrong (the domain is repeated).

Do you have a developer only port setting in your site settings?

I think not… I can’t find a “developer only port” in the settings, however (I searched for “port”).

It was removed as a visible setting in most Discourse instances because it causes problems (as per above..).
If you set it in previous, older versions of Discourse it will still be present. That’s the only reason I could ever think a port would show up there.

Oh sorry, that is normal: we decided to set up that port because we weren’t allowed to add a subdomain and because we read that discourse had issues when served on a prefix (like `example.com/forum`). The port was also there in the previous version. However, in the previous version the avatars were visible 😄

If that setting exists you will have problems. It is marked as a developer only setting, and hidden in recent versions of Discourse, for a reason..

To kill the setting, enter a SQL console and:
```
DELETE FROM site_settings WHERE name = 'port';
```

but if he does that with another site on port 80 Discourse will become inaccessible?

I don’t have that entry:
```
discourse=> select * from site_settings where name = 'port';
id | name | data_type | value | created_at | updated_at
----+------+-----------+-------+------------+------------
(0 rows)
```
The port is configured on a higher level, using docker:
```
ioi@cms:~$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
6a661b7761f9 local_discourse/discourse_allenamenti:latest "/sbin/boot" 13 hours ago Up 13 hours 0.0.0.0:2299->22/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcp discourse_allenamenti
```
So, the URL is correct (we want it to have a port).
The problem is: it worked before the update 😄

After a long search, I ultimately solved this issue.
The problem was that (in my YAML config file) I had:
```
DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'cms.di.unipi.it:8000'
```
I just had to change it to:
```
DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'cms.di.unipi.it'
```
And then run the usual rebuild command. Now the forum is still reachable at the `:8000` port, which I want, but it finally shows the avatars 🎉 🎊
