Of all the things that could break next on devRant, I didn’t expect it will be the user avatars

Checked on web desktop, also broken.

At least I managed to post a rant for the first time in months.

Yup. Same here. I think the issue started sometime around two days ago. But have been seeing... I'll call them 'empty boxes' instead of proper images.

Ah.
I wonder if that's why my app suddenly decided to stop working. Weird that it just crashes on start instead of displaying errors I do catch exceptions...

They're huge.

Can we post images again?

@jestdotty thx for that info. Now I need to find a way to fix it in the app.

@whimsical the avatars come from https://avatars.devrant.com/ so your proxy probably wouldn’t work.

I made a fix for JoyRant to display the user images.

As mentioned by jestdotty, the issue is that the cert has expired for the domain of the image URLs.

JoyRant has been using a 3rd party lib to load and display images by URL with a customizable caching mechanism.

To allow to ignore the ssl issues I had to implement my own version of that Image view component.

I‘m not able to post rants again, so posting it here as a comment. *sigh*
