I've been experimenting with the Character Thumbnails in-game (Link: http://www.roblox.com/thumbs/avatar.ashx?x=100&y=100&format=png&username=Player) and I've been trying to edit the size values.
I'd just like to ask, is this possible? Whenever I do this, a question mark pops up.. But if there are size values, then it must work, but how do I get it to render?

>Much love, YaYaBinks3.

Try using sizes which you see around the website. Also try powers of 2.

If you're doing this in a place, try closing the window and trying again a minute later. You have to give roblox time to actually draw the image.

@OP

I have done this before as well. For best use, use 100x100 if you can so that it grabs an already loaded character image.

If you do a size other than that, it has to load it up first.

The problem?

It will cache the first time it loaded it, thus making it a ? mark.

would it be possible to avoid the cache by using a different address at first? For example, using www1.roblox.com first, and then using www.roblox.com later once it is almost definitely loaded?

Yeah. I actually let it render for about 2 minutes and then saved my place and opened it again. It worked perfectly and it rendered properly.

@Droban

I have attempted to do this, however it won't work due because it hasn't been loaded on www2.
