Navigation - Password Maintenance

Ben did some work behind the scenes for the avatar synch.

We’re still ironing out some stuff for the password thing.
It will be available from the “preferences” submenu when you click your avatar.
It should work but there are some cases that need some error handling still

@LievenDV seems like my avatar is still not synched from the website :frowning:

can you try logging out on both platforms , then logging in on site?
if that fails, have you tried changing your avatar?

Sorry for the inconvenience, it is a test …and we’re in a test phase :wink:

@LievenDV That’s okay, it is a learning curve for all of us :slight_smile:

Still no luck, even removed my avatar and changed it to something else but still no avatar on Community.

I also have a different Avatar on main justinguitar website and Community Dashboard.

Hey @adi_mrok you’re not going to like this but just like @stitch what did it for me was to clear cookies and cache on my PC browser after uploading the avatar in preferences > edit my information.

As @DavidP has noted the ‘edit my information’ button leads to a copy of your JG account on the dev server so our current profiles aren’t actually linked to the main site accounts directly. (right?)

Also I just discovered something - I started typing this message on my phone but then plopped down in front my PC and it was saved as an active reply draft so I just continued where I left off. Insanely cool!

Thanks Ivan, I’m on my work laptop so I will give it a go here. Fingers crossed I have all relevant passwords saved here and I haven’t changed anything lately!

EDIT. Worked a charm, thanks @SS7 @stitch @LievenDV !

It’s a bit late, but you can clear cookies for a single site on Chrome (and I suspect on other browsers).

On Chrome, you click on the padlock icon on the address bar, and it gives you various site options, including the ability to view and manage the cookies for that site:

Keith and that’s why you’re called Majik ! Very helpful and I’ll give it a try later.

And I confirm that was successful, with just clearing site specific cookies as per Keith’s advice.

Stop Press.

You may want to check your other preference settings, as I am now getting notifications again on Chrome that I had switched off.

Didn’t know this feature, many thanks Keith!

I didn’t clear all my cookies and cache just resent browser history.
I’m using Fire Fox and when my avatar wouldn’t change I logged
out and closed the browser. Opened a new browser cleared
resent history and logged onto Jusinguitar. Checked my settings.
Eveything was good. Logged in to the Community checked settings
Avatar was blank, loaded the same picture clicked save. Refreshed
page and there it was.
Never last passwords or had any problem getting on any sites.

Lovely looking guitars, stitch.

Unless I am mistaken I don’t think I’ve ever heard recordings of you playing. Any chance of sharing some of your playing?

Don’t know if I’ll record anything David I never seem to have
time. I have a lot of friends who play and jam a lot with them
when I have free time.
When I’m playing at home its usually practicing something I
don’t know and nobody want to hear practicing.

As for the forums OM they are never at a good time for me.
The last one I Jammed for 5 hours Friday night had to work a
few hours Saturday (day of the OM) then jammed Sunday from
3 to 6.
May be I’ll try and record something in the new year. I did buy a
Scarlett 2i2 last year and had Keith help me get it set up with
Ardour but never seem to find the time to sit down and fugure
out how everything works.

guys, you get away with it because this is a test topic but this is off topic :stuck_out_tongue:

Point taken, Lieven.

What is the “right” way to spawn a new Topic in such a moment? You can demonstrate it in answering this which I know is also off topic :grin:

And to avoid incurring your ire, I just “liked” Stitch’s reply :wink:

Thought we’d be tidying these things up before launch?

Toby,
Me too… Looks like with the trust level elevated we could each kill our posts that were related to testing. But then the deletes would make a mess…?

Oh well,
LB

Maybe just got to give the Mods some time. A clean-up of non-value-adding Topics was mentioned with retention of anything that would be helpful for others joining the Community.

Great, another philosopher :smiley:

Jup, cleanup is for the next days (archiving)
conversations that are still open, will remain open until there is closure though.
