Hi,

All users when they try to upload an image to replace current avatar get an error:

undefined method ‘optimized\_image\_resize\_instructions’ for class OptimizedImage

Upload of other images (for gallery, or just plain image) works ok. I am not sure when it started, we have relatively small community..

Any help with resolving is welcome.. 🙂
