I use busy.org most of the time for posting and commenting while I’m on my PC. Since the release of the new version of busy.org, I have noticed that some of the profile I’ve already seen on steemit, had no profile Image shown on busy.org (even those have on steemit).

Yes, I was aware of the issue and felt of reporting at that time. But then I had seen somewhere someone pointing out the same kind of issue and answer from guys from busy saying, it must have been due to slow network problem/ or something like that and would come up(with an updated profile picture) after sometimes. So I didn’t post anything at that time hoping it will resolve automatically.

But I’m still noticing that it’s not fixed. And now I don’t think it’s any kind of network problem at all because I’ve seen this issue on many accounts, I regularly check their profile but they have never got a profile picture visible once on the busy platform ( At least I haven’t seen it yet).


The problem is some of the accounts have no profile picture although they have on their steemit profile and it’s on some kind of random fashion, it’s happening to some accounts only.


You can see below, penguinpablo has no profile picture on busy.



And another thing is, it's not generating randomly. It might not be feasible for me to go to every profile and check but I have checked some of the profile that I follow or notice most of the time and I found that their profile image on busy hasn’t been updating.
Please, you can check some of the profile I tried on the video at your end if you could reproduce this issue on your end too. I’m noticing this issue from the very first day to a new version of busy and it’s not updated yet. And most of those profiles I’ve seen with no profile image are big accounts.

I’ve made a small screen recorded video so that it could help to understand the problem/issue I’m reporting here.

The problem is that these users have a profile picture, chosen from a URL, that doesn't exist anymore. SteemIt caches profile pictures whenever a user changes it, but busy.org doesn't.
@penguinpablo, for example has a profile picture URL of:
https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/c29.0.170.170/p200x200/254218_165533593509379_8329901_n.jpg?oh=6d4188d08f58fe004df702e7443d7a6e&oe=58C41C14
On the blockchain. It appears that they used their Facebook profile picture, and Facebook changed the URL of his profile picture. People browsing on SteemIt, see this URL:
https://steemit-production-imageproxy-thumbnail.s3.amazonaws.com/U5dsKvzypJBxYdjMiEFiv8Et69S9Mfd_128x128
This means that SteemIt has a cached version of @penguinpablo's profile image, from when it actually was working. The only way to get the profile pictures that SteemIt has, would be to use SteemIt's caching CDN, or cache everybodies profile pictures ourselves (unfortunately, if we go this route, we won't be able to see profile pictures changed before we start caching).

This has been fixed when we switched to SteemitImages.
