sorry I'm not sure what you are talking about ? tipsy avatar thing ?

this is buddypress hovercard plugin

this is normal behaviour,

but i tried to delete it and no change

i asked the dev of this plugin how to disable the hovercards on the forum, and it did not help either lol ...

i had a dev friend checking a bit more into (while not knowing anything about the issue)

he's asking why the priority of avatar is different for admins and non admins ?

I changed a bit the avatars priorities, and now my others members are small icons, while admins are 150pix

he was able to fix the issue, and had everyone showing 150pix HQ by disabling the avatar priority switch while doing only switch cases 0 and 2 (commenting the rest)

avatar priority for admin : 0 and 2 only

avatar priority for other users : all

but it imply changing the code of simplepress, cannot use it, won't work in next update how can we make it so the behaviour is the same for every user ?

/wp-content\plugins\simple-press\forum\content\sp-common-view-functions.php:548
foreach ($spAvatars['sfavatarpriority'] as $priority) {
commented all switch cases except 0 and 2
case 0: # Gravatars
case 2: # Uploaded avatars

doing that made all avatar 150pix and HQ

no idea why, this is really bandaid, would be better to solve another way

Maybe i understand the trick a bit more now: i think i was wrong, it has nothing to do with admins

If the priorities are the same for everyone, it means that step 2 of the switch (file /wp-content\plugins\simple-press\forum\content\sp-common-view-functions.phpn line 549) is skip for everyone (which is the highest priority) and then fall back to step 0 which is gravatars
since I have one, i don't have the bug, it does not continue, succefully executing code "break 2;"
however, it continues further to other steps for non gravatars users

Which feels wrongs, we all have uploaded avatars... it should not continue further case 2 !

I admit i did not research further this point... maybe there is something wrong with our configuration, but it seems that on my forums only people with gravatars got HQ avatars

but in the current system, i cannot have 150pix avatar in HQ, even with the hovercards disabled, so it's not the culprit i'm afraid

update : oh just now my dev friend also found another way to fix it on our side, here's his message :

================
Some news on what I found !
If you inspect theses lines of code, you can find something quite interesting : https://dryft.org/simple-press.png
This is not really a fix because it feels wrong. It looks like "empty($userAvatar['uploaded'])" is broken somehow and badly evaluate.
So that every user with a real uploaded avatar is evaluated as if it doesn't. Fortunately, inverting the condition make it works... but "wrongly" work.
It there something in our configuration or plugins that could make this variable to be badly written somehow ?
=================

we will use this to fix things, we have hq 150pix avatars now, can you add this in your code or will this break something else of others users ?
