Profile photo disappeared

Profile photo disappeared from my Exercism profile.

After posting on the Discord server several other users reported the same problem. I don’t mind uploading my photo again, but maybe someone wants to have a look.

I just want to chime in and confirm what @krstopro said, it also happened to me.
The forum avatar (discourse) which was using the exercism’s avatar stay the same though.

This seems to be affecting a small number of users, i can still see most profile pics here

There is a good chance those profile pics were there on github before they linked the account to exercism.

In my case, my exercism avatar is different from my github one and was uploaded later just for exercism. (which is now revert back to the one on github)
@krstopro is it the same case for you?

My profile photo just disappeared, it didn’t return. :sweat_smile:
I think I separately uploaded the same photo (up to size difference) on my Exercism and GitHub profiles.

Let me add that my photo on Exercism forum wasn’t removed.

Have any of you updated any settings or changed anything on your profile? I’m wondering if the lack of a photo in some other update is causing this.

Fixed by Fix avatar deletion by iHiD · Pull Request #7193 · exercism/website · GitHub

I now have to work out how to get people’s profile photos back!

So for anyone finding this:

  • About 5,000 pre-Oct-31st-2024 users lost their images.
  • If you have a forum account, I’ve recovered it from the forum.
  • If you have a GitHub account, it’ll fall back to that.
  • Otherwise, you’ll need to manually reset it.

I don’t think anyone signup up after Oct 31st 2024 will have been affected.

Sorry everyone!
