IMPORTANT QUESTION!


Am I the only one who does NOT see SDK!Akira in this icon, but...uhm...some anime character or other?

This, incidentally, is SDK!Akira.

I think it's Akira...all blonde.

*sigh*

Yeah...that's what it's supposed to be, but it shows as some other character for me.

I thought it was Naota from FLCL for a second.

It may be. The one I'm seeing isn't the one it's supposed to be.

Eh? The icon you're using for this post? I don't think they look alike~ but I don't really know this Akira at all.

I'm trying to figure out if there's an LJ glitch that replaced my icon, or if the problem is this computer's cache. The one that should be showing should be blue and feature a blond guy.

It's definitely SDK!Akira for me. I don't know if I know any other Akira...

It's some weird cache problem LJ has been having. Most people will see your original icon, though some people may see what you're seeing or something entirely different still. Clear your cache once or twice (or sometimes even more) and it'll go back to normal.

*nods*

That's what I thought it was (I wentt o look at my icons because someone else mentioned it) but wanted to see if it was just me first.

It's the LJ glitch. The only way to fix it is delete the icon and re-upload. It's why I had a Twilight (uuuuuuuugh) icon the other day.

I don't know the character in question so I can't give you a definite yes or no. I will tell you what I see though - a blond guy wearing a white outfit with a blue collar. The whole pic is filtered blue. This fellow looks a bit older than the one in the Aethereality pic.

I've had experience with LJ failing to show an avatar at all but I don't recall it mixing up any of my avatars with each other or someone else's avatars.

ETA: OK. This is weird. Refreshing your page caused a different avatar to show up. One that isn't in your userpics. This one's of a dark haired boy. O_o

Yeah, the dark haired boy isn't mine. (The pic I linked to was from early in the series, when he was drawn a bit younger looking.)

*nods* refreshing this page and your user pics page seems to have a yo-yo affect. I wonder if the problem is with LJ or if it's at the server or site the avatar is hosted on. Have you tried uploading it directly to LJ instead of linking to a pic somewhere else?

[identity profile] meganbmoore.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
All my icons are lovingly uploaded to LJ directly from my harddrive.

[identity profile] droiche.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Then it's definitely yet another issue with LJ's image hosting. The galleries are full of bugs too. Argh.

It is, indeed, SDK!Akira for me. LJ did that to my Ikkaku icon the other day and it made me diofnsdifo. It went back to normal after a bit, though.
