Profile pictures on Apple devices are back. It had to do with implementing a new image format WebP that allows faster loading times but is not compatible with Apple. We are now back to Jpeg for the profile avatars and it seems to work fine for both Mac and PC.

I can confirm that a new upload brings back the profile picture on iOS.
It is certainly not the final solution for that problem but more of a quick fix.

What’s confirmed is that it only happens on Apple gear (iOS). I have to find out what exactly causes it and if a new upload would even help.

[Rudolf Wagner]

I see. It seems to be an IOS problem.

Hello Howard,

Hmmm, I can see all profile images.
You mean in the forum, right?

Would you mind sending me a screenshot of what you mean?

[Rudolf Wagner]

Absolutely. Could not sleep, thought “why not fixing some bugs instead” 😉

Hi there,

Maybe first an explanation why we had to use Dailymotion and not YouTube this time. YouTube seems to become more and more trigger-happy in censoring content these days. Funny enough they recognized John Lennon’s brrright in “It’s only Love” of the “Rubber Soul” WOTT as original that has to be censored and let us choose if we want to delete the whole video or just that part from YouTube.

As we considered deleting John or the whole video a bad selection of choices we decided to find another video host. Vimeo did not work because of upload restrictions so we decided to use Dailymotion.

There we have it. I don’t know why they present it that way and we can’t do much about it. Is there anything particularly annoying about it or did you just wonder why it’s different than usual?

[Rudolf Wagner]

I just noticed the image uploads also don’t seem to work as they should. Will have a look at that too.

Hi Howard,

On first glance in your profile it looks as it has been sent to you .

Then, strangely enough in the same software you don’t show up on the list of newsletter recipients. I’ve just sent it to you again. Please tell me if it worked now.

And could you please have a look in your Spam (Junk Mail) folder just to make sure it has not landed there ?

I updated the donation plugin. Hope it works now.

Re: Switching the MLT Club Subscription to yearly
@John Behle
About half a year ago we changed the subscription from a single product to a variable product with monthly or yearly subscription plan.

You cannot switch between these two product types but just within the variable product. We should have chosen the variable product type from the start even with just using one membership level but didn’t know better at that time. In order to being able to switch the membership subscription plans please just cancel the subscription and buy a new one.

[Rudolf Wagner]

Thanks, I’ll have a look.

[Rudolf Wagner]

Yes, we are testing a new more compact way to present single downloads in the shop and I forgot to set the test products on “private”. Thanks for pointing that out and preventing curious people to buy them 😉

[Rudolf Wagner]

And fixed 🙂

[Rudolf Wagner]

No, you were right. Great find!
This is a shortcode from a deprecated plugin that we forgot to replace.
Thanks!

[Rudolf Wagner]

Ah, Thanks. It’s fixed 🙂
