Topic: Random avatars display

Hi there,

I'm using punBB since 1 year now and I must admit it's a great piece of software. Thanks Rickard. smile
Recently, I moved my server, passing from a Debian distro to a Gentoo one. I decided to use lighttpd (I was using Apache before) with PHP5 in CGI mode for performance reasons. I'm using punbb 1.2.12. Since that, I have problems with the avatars :

The problem is very hard to explain because it appears randomly. Sometimes, avatars don't appear at all in the viewtopic page. After a little refresh (F5), the avatars appear. It happens more or less 10% of time. On this server I have also a website with some images and there are no problems with them, the problem appears just on the forum. In a page of my website, I'm using the same code as in viewtopic.php to display the users avatars, and here the same problem appears.

I had a look at the lighttpd logs and saw nothing useful, same thing for the php logs.
Does anyone know what to do ? Maybe a bug of PHP5 ? Or lighttpd ? Or punbb ?

Thank you & sorry for my poor english. sad

Re: Random avatars display

Never had any avatar problems on PHP5... but that's always with Apache.
Might be a request bug in lighttpd =/

I don't think it will be very useful because the problem appears very seldom, but you can have a try here :

I can't seem to replicate it
In any case, it probably isn't a PunBB bug (since the code for displaying avatars doesn't randomly change)
