Many avatars still corrupted

Rest assured Aidy, everything is being done to resume normal service. However, the problem's been caused by a bug in the later versions of MySQL and together with a string of unique events it's proving a major and slow PITA to recover. It's also not possible to automatically remove corrupt data. It should be sorted in the next few days.
Can't admins remove people's avatars though? You can edit sigs so I thought you would also be able to do that.DaveG said:

You know you really should be using ASP and SQL Server and you wouldn't have had these problems in the first place

Aww shaddap Aidy, if I have to look at pictures of your bug ridden Banana with AYC, then you can put up with my avatar for a few more hours till I get it home and sort it....Aidy said:Can't admins remove people's avatars though? You can edit sigs so I thought you would also be able to do that.

Oh and Pffft ASP and SQL Server tbh, the amount of work it takes to develop secure solutions using ASP and SQL Server is nasty, not to mention locking it down, of course if you're offering to do it for free, then i'm sure someone could use you

You can, but only one at a time and each one will take a bit of time and there's thousands of avatars. It would be easier to remove them all in one go.Aidy said:
Personally I'd prefer a J2EE/Oracle platform, but like ASP/SQL it's not a viable option. PHP/MySQL is much better suited to certain applications.<Fanboy>

I see where you're coming from. I was really thinking about the more active posters rather than every member.

Ones that don't require data integrity? :mhihi:

We may have to bulk update the avatars soon, but I'm waiting on a server delivery ATM.Aidy said:
I'm afraid I don't share your confidence in Microsoft web/DB technology after being burnt by it so many times in the past. For what it is, I'm a big fan of PHP/MySQL. It is a robust, cost effective and easy to implement platform, but not suited to enterprise applications (bit like Microsoft
).
