[confirmed] Cannot Edit Avatar

Repro Steps
-----------
Open the front page (alpha.glitch.com) in Safari.
Click on avatar

Expected Behavior
-----------------
I can see a bunch of choices for things to customize and can see what my new avatar will look like before pressing "save and close"

Actual Behavior
---------------
I see a bunch of buttons on the bottom of the popup and nothing else.
I can select options by blind clicking.
Changes do indeed save.

PS - I have been meaning to report this for a while, but figured it was just a temporary problem with the new avatar system and my computer. But with new tests seeming imminent, I figured it was better to get around to filing the report. Also, it works fine in firefox.

  • I can only edit eyes, mouth, nose, ears. I also expected it the other way around when changing Height: drag slider to the left to move body parts down, drag it to the right to move the part up.

  • I've seen this internally as well; we're working on fixing it.

    Strangely, it has problems for me in Firefox on Windows, but works fine in IE and FF for Mac.

  • You still have IE for mac? Wasn't that discontinued forever ago?

    On a serious note, I decided to rundown every OS/browser combination I own/use.

    FF on mac is good. Opera on mac is good. Safari on mac is bad. Intriguingly, I cannot select the hair color changer button on any of them. (OS 10.6.4, latest versions of browsers)

    IE, Opera, Safari and FF on Windows 7 are ok. When I first click on it, I see nothing, but things show up afterwards. Intriguingly, when I push hair color from this blank screen, it goes to the normal first selection page. (All are latest updates)

    I do not have a functioning setup of linux at the moment :(

    I hope this is enough information! Let me know if you want anything else.

  • Please ignore my comment on the hair color issue. Apparently when I open the editor the avatar resets, so I had no hair and thus could not choose a color!

  • That tripped me for a few seconds, too. A notice like "but you have no hair!" may be helpful.

  • I also can't click on my avatar on my profile page in order to change appearance. Well, I can click on it but nothing happens. It was confirmed to me yesterday that the edit page is supposed to open.
    (but hey! there's nothing wrong with mining in your red underwear)

  • my .02 euro:

    doesn't work in any browser at all on my mbp. running osx 10.6.4 64-bit. firefox 3.6.3 and safari 5 run the game fine, but the avatar editor shows no assets, just the buttons at the bottom.

  • Never mind what I said earlier. I can edit everything by clicking on the avator on the front not profile page... If I am not the only one being confused you might want to think about making the one on the profile clickable as well.

  • Are there different choices of clothes depending on whether your avatar is M F or rather-not-say? I see people are wearing things I don't see in my options. Otherwise, I can vouch the avatar menu works on firefox on kubuntu linux.
