The gravatar (leaving the box checked) works and pressing the page refresh without using the directory control to add a remote image does what I expect ... it adds the pattern.
I've never been overly impressed by the machine's imagination in coming up with the pattern ... but that's a topic for another day.

I found the issue and have corrected it.
You should be able to change your picture now.
You will probably have to Ctrl-F5 to force you browser to load the new image from the server rather than the cache. We re-use the file name, and the caching is set for 7 days.
Alternately, delete (remove) the old image, save your data, and then select the new image. This will create a new file name.

And thanks for that CTRL+F5 tip ... have seen the message before ("resend") but never managed to account for the names of the keys I depressed in order to get it!

I enter the temp pw CP sent me.
I enter the new pw, and confirm.
The new pw is not accepted; the error message:
Items that need attention:
Unable to update password. Please ensure you provide the correct current or temporary password.

cheers, Bill

I have seen a lot of new users with Aug2021 in the name. And going back to Juli there is a bunch with Jul2021 too (way more with only 2021 though)
Is it something that CP is adding when a name already exists?
Or are the spammers probably reusing names adding the suffix to make "unique IDs"?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes, it seems to be a new phenomenon, but some of them do appear to be genuine, and post proper questions. Maybe this is the fashion at some social media site.

When someone registers using an existing name we generate a set of available names they can use instead. The MonthYear pattern is one such suggestion.

I've just sent you a copy of Friday's newsletter.
Please tell if you receive it. I may take a few minutes.

Both in the selection preview (see screenshot) and as applied on the RHS, the emoji aren't what we're used to.
My "pointing hand" was on the one above the LHS of the black box.
Cheers,

What browser were you using?
Those emoji are purely Unicode characters. It's up to the browser as to what it displays given the Unicode number thrown at it.

FF 91.0 on Ubuntu 20.04LTS.
When I first saw it, I hit crtl-F5 for a total refresh. Still funny. Took a screenshot and posted.
An hour or so later, I took another look and it was all good again, so I updated my post.
Weird...
Cheers,
Peter

I’ve had Unicode screw up in a similar manner in newer versions of FF on Windows, so it seems to be a FF bug.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Example
Not a new bug, this has been happening in FF for a long time and I know I reported it before; but I'm feeling extra grumpy/lazy this morning.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And we respect that. Me too, actually.
The issue here is, appropriately, one of laziness. To quote the text we simply ask the browser: "what's been selected". We try and constrain the text to only that in the summary window, but that's not an exact (or even "rough") science. Things leak.
I'll have Matthew add a task to tighten this up a little.

Creepy, because I was literally just reviewing that bug at the time you posted this (Bug Categorisation Tuesday here in Toronto). There's actually a related bug to this one, and what I was thinking was simply just stripping all HTML from pastes as a band-aid option.
However, it turns out there's a maybe-disappear-in-the-future option that solves this in one fell swoop. I'll add this and next deploy things should be saner.
Yay "standards" and "common sense". This only works in Firefox as far as I can tell.
Back to the drawing board.
cheers

Would be nice if that goes from draft to standard; having to play whackamole with stuff we don't want to be selectable on a drag/drop heavy page earlier this year was not fun.

So quick testing shows the situation is about as bad as it gets: the one feature of this I see as really handy - the user-select:contain option - is only supported in IE. Where it's actually "element" instead of 'contain', but has been updated in the spec to rename it to "contain", for a feature supported by one browser which is now actively being purged from existence.
Web development is so rewarding somedays.

It often makes me long for the days when the most advanced communications medium involved poking mudpies with sticks and then letting them dry out.
