Profile pages are broken
-
Mentioned in the large topic in not about SQL forum by other users, but thought should be psoted here. The profile links are no longer working. This is for when you click a user's name (Eirikur Eiriksson), or click the link in the top right to view/edit your own (Profile).

I confirm that.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Wasn't broken earlier today. That is how I found that site emails (PM messages) are missing.

I agree... it wasn't broken earlier today.

Was working all day yesterday, as you need that page to upload your avatar again. Wonder if a "fix" and made a breaking change to something else (Profiles). I'd hazard a guess the links to old articles. 🙂

Except they lost my avatar file and so did I. 🙁
Anyway, it appears that the Profile pages are working again and the PM messages are available, as well.

Just to "poke the bear" a little bit (cuz why not), isn't this situation a point in favor for, at least sometimes, storing images in the DB? So that they get backed up with the DB backup, which one typically has at least one, if not several, days / weeks worth of? 😉

Also, for some reason I did not need to re-upload my avatar. It was just magically there. I wonder what the difference is.....not terribly important, just curious is all..

Heh... I thought it was safe. 😉 Hopefully, I have it on my old 32 bit machine, which I've not fired up in years.
The different between your avatar and mine is that mine was an animated GIF.
Anyway, I agree. There's nothing wrong with storing images, sound files, documents, etc, etc, in a database. No one will make sure the files are safe like a DBA will. You just need to be careful how you store the big stuff so that you don't need to backup large binaries that will never change again. For example, I have almost a decade of call recordings that we're required to keep "online" forever. They're in a partitioned table where there's one filegroup per month and one NDF file per file group, which have been set to Read Only, live in a different database, and never need to be backed up again. My only regret is that I should have used a Partitioned View instead of a Partitioned Table so that I could easily use parts of that large table in for smaller test systems.

Looks like it's the editor that "flattens" the image, rather than the upload. I managed to get the animated gif uploaded, but as soon as I select it for use it stopped being animated. ??

Looking at the actual image that is being used here, it is a PNG, which I do believe also supports animations, but is not specifically a GIF, if you were being literal about the type of file you uploaded. And if you did upload a GIF, then I suspect that this system is probably converting all types into a standard format when used as an avatar. Your avatar is:
https://www.sqlservercentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/avatar1555597354.png
Jeff's avatar is the same style, just a different number in the filename. On the other hand, my avatar and Steve's are both coming from gravatar.com. Here is mine:
https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2097b0c1220de11c10afed989bdfd9f6?s=96&d=mm&r=g
So, perhaps you can try uploading your animated gif to gravatar.com and then referencing that here. Maybe that would work as it wouldn't be something that this system is converting to a standard format, and in the process losing the animation (whether intentional or a poorly done conversion)?
Take care, Solomon..
