Avatar Issue: * SkepticOverlord is working on it * UPDATE

reply to post by TrueAmerican


Hey buddy, I always have like 30-40 browser windows open and so if one of those pages has a post by you, I can recapture your avatar for you. Do you want it? I'll start looking through through these windows.

I doubt this is a quick fix. I was able to get in and remove the avatar, sig, but can't access everything. It also looks as if all my friends and other info has been removed. I think that bothers me the most.

*sigh*...at least some of you are having some fun with it. Perhaps the date is simply random and meant to see how hard you will try and decipher it?

Some people REALLY need to find something better to do with their time. I mean, if you are intelligent enough to accomplish this, I hope you are putting it to some good use in the real world, instead of this sensless maliciousness.

Something else I noticed. This part of the hack...

Skyfloating is that a picture of you in your avie? I just knew one day I would get to see you! Lol

Well its nice to be able to copy and paste your avatar url into the correct bar, but when I click on tools, its a blank page. So this only working for some.

I understand your concern, and I am worried the hacker has our emails now, but just wait and see. SO should be able to fix it. Pissing people off and causing animosity toward ATS is likely the goal of the hacker.

I hope this is a hack and not part of some game...

From reddragon's profile:

"This is Chris, my baby, most beautiful man in the world in every way and a very talented artist/programmer"

I didn't realize how much I rely on avatars to keep conversations straight till one of the threads appeared with everyone having the same avatar.

Would someone be that foolish to use info that we can easily trace?

Westcoast - I was able to view your profile and your Friends are all still there.

i like how ATS cant handle a DB
seriously guys, you're ATS, try to have a real DB , not a so dirty code

reply to post by TrueAmerican


I'm sure your avatar should still be on ATS mate, in your media account. Otherwise you wouldn't have had an avatar to display, or am I wrong?

Think on this guys. Don't freak, chill, the Boss will sort this out. The more we freak the more chuckles the moron that did this will have. Don't give the tard the satisfaction.

Well, this sucks, and I cannot change my avatar back.

When I click TOOLS it goes to a blank screen.

The same happens when I try to read my U2U's, a blank screen.

Just Curious, and sorry, but I forgot this.
Is the media login password different than the regular ATS login password?
I was not able to access my pictures with my regular ATS password.
I will just reset later if they are different.
