jfbc 4.0.1 no avatar import anymore

Not a known problem, but we'll definitely look into it. Our automated tests don't have an issue with this, so it may be unique to your site.

Another thing to try, if you don't mind, is on our demo site which runs 4.0.1. If you run into the issue there, definitely let us know as it may be account specific, but other avatars seem to be coming in.

JomSocial Home page on the demo site:

With that said, can you let me know what JS version you're using? Also, did this seem to work in 4.0.0 or did you upgrade straight from 3.4 (which should be fine).

Finally, another test is to clear your Joomla cache as well as your browser cache. The Joomla cache has been causing a few users problems, especially if they're using a minification extension to combine Javascript files.

Alex,
Sorry for not getting back earlier. Still not sure what would be doing that, but thanks for letting us know about avatar actually getting downloaded.. that helps narrow down possibilites.

How is JomSocial configured to handle avatars? Mainly, are you using any external storage like Amazon S3? We do all our testing with local storage, and honestly don't know if it works with the remote storage stuff... however, we can look into it if required. If set to local, then I think the next step would be for us to get into the site to debug, if possible.

Thanks,
Alex

Gonna be looking into this soon. Got a little sidetracked with a different forum issue on this site, and testing for 4.0.2... hopefully the final point-release for 4.0.

The info of the 2nd login importing the avatar is definitely helpful. Is this always the case? Does it really have to be a 'short time', or is it always the 2nd login that properly pulls the avatar? Definitely strange...
