There seems to be an issue with my combined Stack Exchange flair.

All of the individual (site specific) flairs appear to be working (and displaying) correctly -

Flair

Only the combined flair has the problem :

Makes me look like this :

This makes it look like I'm Mr.Trollololo and extremely interested in my rep count. While this is true the main problem is that it looks like I have 6K on SO (Don't jump the gun! - I'll get there soon enough!). Also it does not show my other accounts.

The example is taken from MSO - but the same problem appears on all the other SE sites I've looked at.

Is this an issue with Gravatar? I believe not - That specific image is not from Gravatar rather taken from my ****book account.

I have cleared cache and tested this on

  • Chrome 17.0.963.83 (Ubuntu 10.04 + WinXP + Win7)
  • Firefox 11.0 (Ubuntu 10.04)

Please don't make me look more creepy (than I actually am) in my flair! :)

Seems to me that the issue is simply a larger picture being used.

                      instead of  
http://graph.facebook.com/504135887/picture?type=small

Or that the resizing is being skipped.

Direct URLS for your convenience

I really hope this is not contagious...

  • If this is not a bug - I promise to work very hard to get to 6K on Stack Overflow so that my flair won't be misleading. ^_^

    Oh hey! I just noticed for the first time what you did there with your gravatar on Meta—decolorizing and reversing your picture. I see your posts a lot on Meta, but never on SO since I avoid anything with "facebook" tags like the plague.

    @cod - Understandable! And yes - decolorizing to keep in touch with the color scheme here :)

    How did you get it to use your "****book" account picture in the first place?

    Hahaha, the greyscale image is a cool idea!

  • @min - I'd tell you how - but I fear that some users will plan a lynch against me :P

    @Pekka, Lix: ChrisF's SO gravatar is grayscaled and his MSO gravatar is colorized :)

    @Bolt - Ah yes - but no horizontal flip :P If you start something you got to finish it. No offence to ChrisF of course :P

This is fixed now, though it might take up to 24 hours for the creepy version to fall out of your browser's cache.

As you noted, your profile image comes from Facebook, not Gravatar, and the abnormal (non-50x50) size wasn't being properly handled by the flair-generation code.

    Thanks so much! Clearing cache indeed un-creepyfied my flair. :)
