My avatar up and vanished one day. I've tried getting a new one several times but nothing happened. Even a call to the moderators didn't get a response. Any ideas?

(28,076 posts)There was a website update a few weeks back that introduced a domain which is being blocked by the uBlock EasyList Filter. Or, just as a fluke, it was added the same day that I was notified that I could experience temporary website issues.
The following steps will remediate this issue.
Note: I have EFF Badger, NoScript, uBlock, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials & HTTPS Everywhere. This issue is limited to uBlock.
2) Look for ezoic.net, and if you click on it, g.ezoic.net will appear.
3) On the right hand side, in the white area half-way down, will be 3 gears to open the Dashboard. Click on that.
4) Create a Directory(folder) on your drive and name it DemocraticUnderground. In there, open a plain text file called Custom_EasyList_uBlock_Filter.txt
5) In the uBlock Dashboard, click on 'Filter Lists' towards the top to display all active website blocking filters. Click on the 'Update' tab to get a fresh list of files. The EasyList should have a black checked box to the left of it.
6) To the right of EasyList will be an eye icon. Click on that. This will open up the contents of the entire file.
7) In the upper right of that window, on the same line as the Search magnifier, will be a square box with an arrow pointing to the upper right. Click on that. This will open up a text version of that same file.
8) Right click, Select All and Copy.
9) Paste that entire file into that Custom_EasyList_uBlock_Filter.txt file you created. This should place you at the bottom of the file. Click save to temporarily save it.
10) There will be 7 ezoic file strings in that file, but it's the last one you want (ezoic.net). If you are at the bottom, search ezoic.net and check the up button. This should take you to a line that looks like ||ezoic.net^
11) Delete that one line from the file, making sure there isn't a blank line. Save the file again.
12) Uncheck the EasyList selection in the 'Filter Lists' and click on the yellow Apply Changes tab that will now highlight.
13) Select the 'My filters' option.
14) Click on the 'Import and append' tab. Select that text file you just created. Click on 'Apply changes'.
15) You shouldn't have to refresh uBlock in your browser window, but if you do, turn off uBlock, click that circular arrow to the right to refresh, then turn it back on, and click that circular arrow.
16) Save these instructions off as a file in that same DemocraticUnderground folder as your Custom Filter.
What you have done was take that EasyList filter and create your own custom version of it. The drawback is that it won't get automatically updated.
I tried adding 'Trusted sites' for ezoic.net , g.ezoic.net & upload.democraticunderground.com and they only worked for the first refresh. After that they failed to work. The only solution I found was to perform the steps above.

Click on the following image link:

Right click the image and save it to your PC as a file, like Vegas_Knights.jpg
Upload it and since the file is 6K in size (175x175), DU will automatically resize it to 48x48.
I added it as my image for a little while to let you check it out. Or you can grab the one I have and save that off to load up.

My Profile at upper right.
In the Avatar section, click Edit.
"To choose a new avatar image, select a category. Or upload your own." Click on 'upload your own'
Click the Browse... box and you will be prompted for the path and file. It has to be under 10K in size.
Then click Upload box and that's it.

(28,076 posts)Save it on your PC (41KB), open up Paint and save it as a GIF file (8KB) and then upload it.
It's pretty tiny. The next one might be better.
Here's another one. I can't preview it here. Save it to your PC. It's 8K so you don't need to edit it.
I added it to My Profile. You might be able to lift it from there as well.
