Not sure what happened, but after upgrading to the latest beta, all custom user avatars are gone, replaced by a standard image of a light-gray user.
The default-generated avatars for users with no custom avatar uploads are not affected.
The image links to those avatars are:
```plaintext
https://xxxxx.com/user_avatar/xxx.com/user/50/179_2.png
```
EDIT: Uploading a new avatar image will show up. Therefore, all the previously-uploaded avatar images are all lost.

No, it just takes time for the images to re-optimize. See the other topic on this. Give it 24 hours.

I suppose you mean this one:

> Not sure if something you changed with the fuzzy image loading is being applied to user profile pictures, but I’ve noticed that after upgrading to 2.2.0.beta7 quite a few user images are either failing to load entirely (leaving just an empty white space) or are loading very, very slowly. As seen here: [https://share.otf.ca/](https://share.otf.ca/)
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for 24 more hours…

Yep, had the same issue after upgrade. 15 mins later the avatars were back.

Nope. It doesn’t go back to normal. All the avatars are still the default pics.
Any command line to manually rebuild them?

How is your sidekiq queue looking? Is it empty?
There is some nginx level caching if queue is empty go ahead and rebuild

Looks empty.
How should I rebuild? Do a “./launcher rebuild app”?

Quote avatars becoming default is probably due to:

Added bonus, stuff will run faster as well. Let me know how it goes.

Well, unfortunately, I did a `./launcher rebuild app` and it is still showing the default pic.
So that’s not it.
Version is [v2.2.0.beta7 +60](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/f947e3c6ccf307c5b3b778a1ccca3390825b14f3...tests-passed)

Hi,
If you need an example, I have the same problem on my site:
[https://libertysim.net/t/perturbation-de-lhebergement-des-images/41402](https://libertysim.net/t/perturbation-de-lhebergement-des-images/41402)
By the way, I experience another problem with links of pictures from Imgur or Flickr. The display is broken after 15 minutes and replaced by an unreachable item icon.
The installed version is v2.2.0.beta7 +42

If you edit loliver4’s profile and open the avatar selection screen, do you see it there? Is it using a local avatar or a gravatar?
Can you run
```plaintext
./launcher enter app
rails c
Upload.find(3262)
```
Is the file it is referencing in your file system? What is the size of the file?
Something is not right here…
Also seeing a redirect here:

Did you move your S3 stuff around?

This particular topic is a bug in azure blob storage plugin, @vinothkannans is looking at it.

As per the above response from S3 if I change the hostname to `libertysim.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com` then the URL is working. I’m not sure how it’s messed up. But it doesn’t look like a problem from Discourse side.

Created a new PR to fix this issue
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/6871](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/6871)
This bug is reproducible using the new rspec method which I added in `discourse-azure-blog-storage` plugin.
