Since the latest update no custom avatars are showing anymore. I’ve traced this back to the fact that the template tries to render

`http://example.com:12345/user_avatar/example.com:12345/joe/120/149_1.png`

when

`http://example.com:12345/user_avatar/example.com/joe/120/149_1.png` (without the port)

is the correct location of the Avatar.

Is this any misconfiguration on my end or a bug?

It does seem like a bug, but is there any particular reason you have to use a port? URLs are much nicer without them 😄

You’re right 😉 Took this as a motivation to finally proxy it to port 80 on a subdomain – should still be fixed I guess 😄

I agree but it’s a super low priority 😄
