I cannot get my Twitter avatar :( I'm currently the mad moose apparently when I should have a wonderful pac-man-esque ghost icon I just specially made. When I enter my Twitter name into the Profile page it does flash the correct image next to the text box but on the Avatar page I get the moose. I tried Warren's suggestion above but that doesn't seem to make any difference, for me at any rate.

Thanks

Hmm tried it with twitter updates unprotected just to see if that is the problem - my guess is that its highly likely.

Another suggestion is that you could use Gravatar www.gravatar.com which is a more universal thing on blogs and such by associating an image with an email address.

As I have just posted this message - I CAN see your profile picture Ian of a red pacman ghost upside down. Have you definately forced your cahce CTRL + F5?

It now seems to be working correctly. You may have also noticed my username has changed to my real one, sadly alas. I thought it was probably time.

What did you do to solve it, so Evan can know what to do and then mark the topic as solved.

It just seem to correct itself after I updated my profile data in Twitter but I don't see how that should have corrected the problem because the previous profile information matched. Perhaps a quirk at Twitters end may be?

I've got it working,

- Removed Twitter alias in my profile, saved

- added twitter alias back in, saved

- set Gravatar then set twitter avatar Ctr +F5 a few times

I had to do the last step a few times and then it just appeared...

Thanks

Evan

OK, Evan have you reported it as a bug over in the bug forum of our.umbraco.org with steps to reproduce. So that the guys can take a look into it and fix it.

I think it's re-saving your profile that does the trick. However, the preview of the twitter image is of a blue cartoon with its brains popping out of its head, not a preview of your actual twitter image...

Added solution to the Bugs section.

Cheers

im still getting this almost 5 years later! Tried alsorts and cannot get it to pick up my twitter image or even a webcam image.

:(

Stuck with the stupid pink thing.  Anyone know how to sort this?

Hi Damian

Yeah, I had the same frustration. I changed my Twitter avatar a year ago and it was never picked up. I think it's due to changes in the Twitter API and unfortunately there has been no time to make changes to the integration on our.

However I managed to change my avatar by using my gravatar instead. And you also have the option to upload an image I think.

Hope this helps.
