So today I visited this link: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3114&start=1875 And I noticed an avatar being enormous: http://imgur.com/emcKDw1 So I reported the avatar for exceeding the maximum resolution allowed, but everyone except me do see this: http://imgur.com/saUXeXM I also tried on Android. Same result: http://imgur.com/9sKatqR This is the image link: http://i43.tinypic.com/a1srdd.jpg So, what is even happening? Edit: I've tried several browsers, also on private mode, also tried clearing cache. it does appear the right, little image only when I open the direct image url first, after having cleared the cache or pressed Ctrl+F5. Edit 2: Even after clearing the cache or pressing Ctrl+F5, it remains the wrong, big image on the forum.

Tinypic has always been retarded and it redirects to non existing domain names. If I click that link I get redirected to http://pt.tinypic.com and clearly that domain name doesn't exist, it should be http://pt-br.tinypic.com This is clearly another bug with that dumb site.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

No, I just changed the skin for practical reasons. It's a custom skin preinstalled in any Windows XP.

Not that I don't like Windows XP, but it hasn't been supported in years. Why not upgrade to 7?

Once I uploaded my photo to tinypic. After some months it got replaced by a random black girl's selfie. The funny part is that I used that pic in the userphoto thread at tasvideos. So yeah, you can expect any silly bullshit from that shitty site (that was fine once).

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
