hello

I had this problem with 2.4.3 and just updated to 2.4.8 and still have the problem.

You not only had that problem, you caused it with a bug report. The problem is the consequence of a not complete implementation of the random part of the avatar file names. In the user edit form in the admin area the file name of the avatar without the random part (old behavior). Thatswhy you find the old avatars ([userid].jpg|png|gif) but not the avatars, which was uploaded with the new name system.

Even new users, If I go to edit their profile in the user administration their avatar does not show and the delete box does not show

Because the code searches the avatars under a wrong name, it couldn't find them and will not show the row with the avatar.

Is this how it's meant to work?

No, it isn't.

I thought you could always delete any user's avatar from the edit user page?

That's how it should work.

Tschö, Auge
