Seriously, I know there have been threads on this before but how can it take so long for some people's character photo's to update everywhere outside of the Game? I changed 3 of my Toons photos dating back 2 months ago, and the only places they have shown the change is in game. On the Forums, obn my killboard, and on my ineve/newforms skillsheets it still shows my old pictures.
What is going on CCP? Clear your Servers' cache ever? Why do some peoples update in under 2 weeks while others wait months? I changed my pictures for a reason, and it seems I am only getting 1/2 my $10 worth I paid to change each character's picture. Something needs to be done about this please. I'd really like to be able to see my new photos outside the game.

There have been problems with the out of game avatar servers recently. It looks like they managed to get a backup system running but it is using old data. Be patient. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)

Never heard Toon before? Interesting...
I have heard some people taking about 9 months for a picture change to take place. Thats just crazy.
I cleared my own cache Bro, no change.

The image server for the forum portraits is broken and we are working with IBM to restore full functionality. In order to at least get some forum pictures displayed we implemented a backup solution which seems to have resulted in some portraits reverting. My apologies for this. I have let operations know about this and will make it a point to check that when the image service is restored people get their intended portraits back.

With the amount of image server borks since the new bloodlines were released I'd say IBM should get a better breeding program for the rendering hamsters they sell you. Those poor little buggers just can't take the strain. Or you could call up Mercedes and try to talk them out of some of these fast little guys.

Portraits have never appeared to be a priority to CCP so you might have to wait a few months longer.

It's a WoW term for character. Basically it means "I fail". _______________

Be that as it may, WoW is by far the most mainstream MMO, and anyone who uses the term here is far more likely to have picked it up there than anywhere else.
It's another game's term used by another game's players. -

I sincerely look forward to the launch of ambulation with the anticipation that the server rendering the clothing would fail, upon which we'll get to see naked chicks running around.

Very odd. I was a '!' before the service broke down. Being under 6 weeks old, you 'implemented a backup' and suddenly I have a face on the forums?
Mind you, I'm not complaining.

No, it's not a WoW term. It's been around as a term for your avatar in MMOs since the early '90s, and was probably in use in MUDs long before that.

It does predate wow by a long time. I think it probably came before avatar and character really caught on, and hasnt quite died out yet.

It needs to die. Toon makes it sound like we are playing hello kitty online. Why does it matter whether ur portrait is shown on the forums anyway? Its not like anyone looks at them.

It's not really about the Forums, moreso the Killboard and my skillsheet.
Who cares what you call a Character? Toon, Char, Avatar, all we really are is pictures flying spaceships anyhow.
