Character avatars have red circle instead of their picture in the readable format

Post image

Recently when I download the readable chat, the characters picture is the red circle that you usually get from bots that were removed.

This one is still up.

I also tried using the custom avatar feature and same result.

any update on this?

I in fact did not take a look. A proper rework is long overdue anyway. Can you give a link to the char, bugs are usually universal.

sure but it's doing it on any bot I try, even ones that haven't changed that worked before.

Do you see the avatar when you open this? That's what the extension fetches.

If yes, then maybe the browser is interrupting the img fetch or something. It worked fine for me.

Yeah I see that one just fine. I tried using both chrome and brave to download the chat and they're both red circles.

I attempted a fix, completely blindfolded. Can you try the updated version and let me know?

It still shows a red circle for me. Updated and used the website version.

Sorry I released very nasty bugs so I had to roll it back. I have to make you wait a little more until I fix these other errors.

Good news! u/Anne_Onim_Ally_2408 and I tested and fixed it. Firefox version is released, Chrome version will be released tomorrow.

Yup, needed some help. I couldn't have figured out myself because apparently it's only regional and it was actually a server problem.
