Wardrobe avatar not appearing

Been meaning to post this for a while now, but ... When I'm in the Wardrobe, my avatar generally doesn't appear at all. Sometimes when I cycle through the test button I can see some edges of the avatar appearing, but generally nothing. It almost seems like there's a rectangular 'patch' over the avatar that only shows the background, if part of the avatar moves outside of that rectangle it becomes visible.

Using Flash 10.2 r159 under Firefox 4 on Ubuntu 10.10.
Issue appears to be repeatable for me on multiple machines using the same software versions.

  • Strangely, while writing this post I've noticed that switching from the Wardrobe browser tab to another browser tab and back again makes the avatar appear correctly. However, as soon as I try and change the clothes on my avatar it disappears again (until I do the tab switch again).

  • Also doesn't seem to be a problem at all in Chrome (10.0.648.205) on the same machines with the same version of Flash...

  • Doesn't apply to the original post, that's a level of icky beyond me. However...

    Sometimes it can take a minute for avatar changes to appear everywhere. I've notice the correct clothes appear on the home page quickly, but it takes a minute for them to appear on the Profile page. Same thing in the game world. If you change clothes, they may not appear right away. Sometimes it's not until you change streets and the system finishes populating your new look.

    Hope it helps :)

  • @Travinara I think they are unrelated.
