When I help a boat my picture no longer shows up on box. Tried to disconnect and reconnect to Facebook and restarted Hay Day. Still the same. ???
Having same problems past days, but also dont see some others icons - i am writing here in my today topic I posted.
it should not do with GC anything - it should be problem of FB connection - as I always seen fb pic no GC pic.
same here, since this weekend.
looks to me like a problem on SC servers.
already opened another bugthread as well.
regards, sharky
Yup, ditto.
I've tried logging out of Facebook, signing out of the GC. On iPad and phone. Logging in, out, shaking it all about... any and all combinations of the above. Changed my FB photo yesterday and it came back for a little while and is gone again today. Changing photo again makes no difference so that was probably just an intermittent fix which had nothing to do with it.
Around 50% of my neighbours are now gingerbread heads, and they certainly all had proper photos before.
Apparently, GC neighbours can see my GC avatar, but I can't. FB neighbours can only see the gingerbread head.
It's most annoying because I can't see which neighbours I've helped with their boat crates and which I haven't, because there are gingerbread heads everywhere!!!
bump...
Still same problem, seems to concentrate on boat crates though. FB account.
SC, any update or workaround ?
This problem has just started for me too.
Hi
please , this might sound stupid but its so annoying !
In the friends,neighborhood,followers boxes below only some peoples pics show ,half of them are missing .
and when I fill crates on the boats that I help people , the pics are also not on the crates .
and I have asked some people if they have the same problem and they say yes.
Please can you have a look at that .
thanx
Hi
ahhhhh, I was so hoping that when you had your maintenance break, this would also be fixed .
where has all the pro file pics of my friends and followers, neighbors gone ?
Even when you fill a crate , it does not show anymore my photo , why ?
I know other players also have that problem.
I use the same picture for both my Facebook account and GameCentre. This has always displayed on any crates I close on boats until the last week or so. Now when I close a crate, I just see the gingerbread man. I have double checked that the photo is still on my FB and GC accounts, I have closed out of HayDay and gone back in, but still no picture again. I found I was not signed in to GC in the settings of my iPad, so signed in and then turned closed HayDay and opened it again. Still no picture.
Why did it disappear??
And how do I get it back??
Please help. Thanks.
Not sure on your case. I am android and use FB, but when I logout FB on my farm, the same will happen.
Is it possible your game is slow enough that when you close crate and do NOT wait..... say 15 seconds to see if it shows then?
Mine is slow lately, so I wait to make sure I DO get the XP's and boat score points. eventually my photo is there.
Try this out, I'm curious if it will help you
I went to my farm and filled a crate for someone. I waited for about 20 seconds. Someone closed the next crate too and it updated to show that person's pic but the crate I filled stayed on the gingerbread man. I really don't know what else to try.
That is strange. on your friends bar do all your friends have a pic? if there isn't maybe it is
tied to the fact of being not signed into game center. are you on an KOS device?
There are times when you may be on hay day, playing away but you aren't connected to Game Center. It happens on my older device a lot more than my new one. If you open your friends list and all the frames are blue, that means you aren't connected to Game Center. I've tried closing out of everything and going back in, which sometimes works. I understand you can log out of Game Center and log back in from the settings windows on your device. I have finally had to reset all settings to get it back once, but that means you have to reset, preferences like whether you enabled any restrictions, disabled in app purchases, and even the check box for web sites to remember you. Had a heck of a time remembering my face book password, so be careful with that one.
Thanks for this Tigg. Occasionally my friends list shows 5 blue frames only and nothing on the help bar. When I close the iPad completely and reopen it things are usually back to normal. I did not realise it was a game centre thing.
I do not use Facebook so that is not ever going to be an issue for me.
I have experienced this. Occasionally I'd log in and all my GC friends doesn't show. All I do is close the game and reopen it. That usually gets GC back up and running with the game.
hey SC or mods,
can you give any update on this ? You want feedback from the community, than please share some info as well.
If we missed out on any info on this issue, please let us know.
And it's not a rare issue... more people are affected and the effect is random.
Same here! My picture disappeared a few days ago,from boat crates that I fill. I have logged in and out of facebook and GC, and no change.
I found out I been signed out of GC the other day although all my friends were still on the friend bar. I think the frames were gold still too but can't be sure. I signed back in through settings when I discovered it, then closed HayDay and then reopened it. I just double checked today and I am still sign into GC in Settings. All my friend frames are gold except the four I follow. I just closed another crate and still no pic. This is so frustrating, but I do appreciate all the tips from everyone.
Picture has vanished for me too! Please help as getting annoying now! Tried all the logging in, out & shaking all about but nothing helps, I am a gingerbread head ;0( ;0)
Yes, was going to say: the pics come from your chosen main avatar Facebook photo.
I was having that problem today, too...fill a few crates on others' boats and my avatar wasn't there, but I knew I was the one that filled it as I could see I received the coins, etc., for filling it.
My neighbors' avatar on the Friends bar were visible, but if I was going from RSS to RSS, their avatar was just the gingerbread man until I was in their RSS, then their avatar showed up.
I play here and there throughout the day and don't actually "close out" of the game, i.e., I don't completely exit the game by double-tapping the "home" button and then swiping it closed, I just tap the "home" button once. After playing for a few times over the next hour or two with the same thing happening, all of a sudden, everything was back to normal. :confused:
It's been about a week since I've seen my picture. My friends' & followers' pics are showing up one minute & not the next. I don't think the problem has anything to do with the Game Center app because Hay Day doesn't use that profile pic- it uses the one from Facebook. I have logged in & out of Facebook, changed my profile pic in Facebook, checked my connection, signed on & off of wifi, powered phone off & on, & just about anything else you can think of. I also sent an email about this issue two days ago & have yet to receive any reply. Now that I know I'm not the only one experiencing this highly annoying issue I beg you Supercell- PLEASE look into this & resolve the issue!!! I'm tired of not having a face & looking at a dull, generic friends' & followers' bar!!!
I too have had my pic (avatar) vanish, my friends and followers love to know I've been to thier farm to help and buy. I too have logged out of everywhere and back in, even updated the pic to see it it would change in hayday....
Really annoying, fix it please!!
Just wanted to share the reply i got to my email. Hopefully it will be fixed soon! Fingers crossed!
Thank you so much for contacting us and playing Hay Day!
I am sorry to know that you are not able to view your picture in your Hay-day farm. However, please be advised we are working closely with Facebook to ensure this is fixed as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I thank you very much for your patience and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you encounter other issues within the game, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be more than happy to help you!
Have a Hay-ppy Day!
The same occurred to me. It's very frustrating, my friends don't help me as often now, and now I really believe it has to do with my faceless crate.
Supercell, I know you said you were working with Facebook to resolve the issue but how about in the meantime you just give us the option to upload a pic to hay day? It gets confusing when everyone looks the same!!
They are aware of this thanks to everyone's posts on it. They are looking into what may be causing the problem. It would be very helpful if everyone would post what device you use. Knowing if this is limited to Android or iOS or if it's affecting both would help to shrink the area that they need to search for the problem.
This has been a problem for me for over a week. I am on a IPad, but I am also connected to Facebook. It's happened to both Facebook and GC friends' avatars.
Playing on iOS 7.1. Connected through Facebook & Game Center
Everything seems to be back to normal- my pic & my friends' & followers' pics have returned! Thank you
issue solved for me...
needed to 'hard' close the game though. Home button twice, and than close game.
thanks
BTW, ipad2 & 3 , iOS 7.1, if its still relevant.
My pic is gone again😩
My friends' & followers' are still showing up though. I closed the game & reopened but my pic is still missing.
Playing in iPhone 5c iOS 7.1 connected through Facebook & Game Center.
.....bump...
yep, problem seems to be back again.
avatars on the boats are 'default' again.
what i notice as well, is that resolving of the avatars in the friends-bar is intermittent and very slow as well.
ipad2 & 3 iOS7.1
created a ticket with SC as well, yesterday. And got the exact same answer... :-(
above posting from AuroaSky is a week old, and I had to tell SC again of the problem ??
Any info from the mods, or SC devs, as I'm not getting any wiser from the servicedesk.
Last Friday, it seemed better, so someone must have done something right back then.
They are working on fixing this issue so please hold on and be patient.
Help! My profile picture no longer shows when I help to fill crates. My friends pictures do not show either. Everyone appears as a generic pic. I have tried to log out of facebook as well as Game Center. I have completely closed hay day and I have also tried restarting my iPad. Nothing seems to help. I still get the generic pics. This happened very suddenly.:mad:
... (@cricks3) any update on this ?
new boat-event has started, so it might be convenient to see who filled up the crates.
again, if i m the only one please let me know.
I understand that this issue is being worked on but it has been 2 weeks already!😢 I really feel this is affecting gameplay because at times it's difficult to see who has helped you, especially on boat crates. Since we're now having a boat event I really hope this gets fixed soon. I really didn't think it would be so annoying to not have a picture😣
thx AuroaSky for the back-up in this.
It's kinda nice to see that although we're the most 'active' regarding this issue, the 'views' count for this topic is by far the largest in the bugs&issue subforum.
This leads me to believe that there might be more people interested in the outcome.
I know I will be very happy to see this problem resolved! It is most annoying to continually see default pics. I love playing but this problem has caused me to slow down on playtime. I have tried everything to no avail. I want to see my friends and my own profile pic again!
They are still working on trying to figure out why this is happening. It's possible that it may be on FB's end and not SC's. As annoying as this situation is, it does not keep people from playing the game. Issues that DO prevent people from playing the game take priority...no matter how many views a thread has.
As to thread views, if a mod, checks a thread 5 times a day, then it registers as 5 views. If someone who posted to a thread, comes back a few times to see who else posted to it, each view registers. So, if 3 people each view the thread 5 times, it registers as 15 views even though only 3 people have ever looked at.
EDIT: My moderator tools say that 48 people have opened this thread and viewed it over the 2 weeks since it was created...hardly the most viewed thread in the bugs section. I alone, as a moderator, have opened this thread dozens of times.
To add to all of that, is the fact that there is something wrong with the view counter. It's a known issue but is not a priority so I've no idea when it will be fixed. This is not the first time the issue has come up nor will it be the last.
Hello,
Since a few days my facebook profile photo doesn't show when I help friends, (just the blank one) I am also on Game Center with a different photo, this one doesn't show either ?
Help anyone ? what has happened ?
Merci
Mine does that all the time and then resolves itself eventually. I always wonder if I have changed something accidentally but I really don't think I have!
I have the same problem as you. My pic has become the default pic again for some reason and I can't do anything about it :(
It has been like this for around 2-3 weeks even though my FB pic still working perfectly. I wonder if my neighbor can see my pic or not. Maybe it's only my ipad that can't see my own picture.... I dunno. :p
Oh wow... Thanks a lot for merging both thread here.:D Now I know there's so many ppl that has the same problem. Thanks a lot for all the devs that trying to solve this issue too.
To provide some information for the devs, My device is an Ipad3 running on ios 7.0.4. My device is connected to both FB and GC. I have FB picture but no GC picture(So my in-game pic is my FB pic). My in-game picture used to show up normally until around two weeks ago. It suddenly disappeared for no reason at all.
I have already try(to no avail)...
-Sign out and sign in with FB
-Change FB pic
-Reset the game.
It's good to know it's still being looked into. Not sure if this is useful but every other game that I'm connected to through Facebook is not experiencing this problem. I totally understand that there are higher priority problems but I can only hope, Cricks3, that you can understand how frustrating this is for players. I feel as though you're becoming annoyed with us for wanting to feel as though we are being listened to & that this is being addressed. You spent more time and effort explaining the view counter then you did addressing the problem at hand. If this is going to take forever to fix then maybe they can implement a way for us to upload a picture to Hay Day. That would fix everything.
IPad and connected through Facebook. Used to be Facebook pic, then it defaulted to fame center, then disappeared. Short reappearance a few days ago, then gone again
Thanks AuroaSky I agree with you! This problem HAS affected my game playing in that I find myself not playing as much bc I am sick of seeing the default pics instead of the profile pics. Much too annoying!
I'm aware this is frustrating. I have many connections in my game through FB who have suddenly become gingerbread so I understand. I'm not annoyed, and am sorry if I come across that way sometimes. Everyone deserves to be respectfully listened to.
As for spending more time explaining the view counter than addressing the problem, that's because I understand the confusion of the counter and CAN explain it. I don't have an answer to give you on the Facebook issue. I only know that they are working on it, that it may be on FB's end and not HD's, and that it started at the same time that FB initiated their new format. Why it only affects HD, no one knows right now.
As for uploading a picture to Hay Day, that's something that you could post to the ideas and requests section. I'm sorry that I can't give you more than that. No one knows what is causing this problem so a time frame for fixing it cannot be given.
Thanks Cricks3 for your help...I do appreciate your updates on this issue!
I'm having the same problem !!! This started about 2 or 3 weeks ago...
Elisa
Adding my name to the list of frustrated players seeing all "gingerbread men." The worst part for me is that I can no longer tell what boats I've already helped and will come back a few hours later and fill a crate on a boat I've already filled a crate on. Or I'll avoid filling a crate because I can't remember if I've already helped, and the default avatars don't tell me anything. By the way, it's not just my FB friends whose avatar doesn't show; it's GC friends as well. I do not think this is a FB issue.
GC frequently goes out and is nothing new. It's at their end and nothing SC can do about it. They have their good days where things are nice and stable and they have their bad days where the GC avatars are out more than in for, sometimes, several days. The FB avatar issue is new and coincides with their new format change so it's not verified yet if it's on their end or SCs, but SC is looking into the issue and trying to find a fix.
Same problem and I hope they find a solution fast.
My friends cannot see my picture/avatar on their boat crates and neither can I .
i have tried logging in and out of Facebook and Game Center multiple times with no effect.
i have even deleted the Hay Day app and reinstalled it with no improvement.
Below is a screenshot of my avatar after helping a jam crate. This friend confirmed I also appear in her "Last Helpers" list as a blank/gingerbread icon.
...bump...
@Mods or SC; any update on this issue so far ? Just an update would do... and yes, 'Dev is busy with the next update of the game and then it will be fixed' is an answer too.
Has been three or four weeks now.
kind regards
This hasn't been working for a couple of weeks for me. I just assumed like Tigg said that it was probably my connection issue but to be like this consistently it HAS to be server issue since I don't have any problems with pic displays on other games . (Though may not be related but I'm sure it's not a fault on my end)
Tried relighting GC, FB, changing display on both, restarting phone, etc
To no avail.
Running on iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and iPad Mini . Most recent iOS update.
All are not working. I can still SEE some other people's though, just not mine, which I agree, it's getting annoying to see faceless people. SOME people that I know have pics (family) are now faceless as well.
Tried logging out of FB and just play while connected to GC. My gc pic doesn't show either.
Recently, my friend, who is both my FB and GC friend, said that she saw no photo on my icon in her tray as well as on the crates that I filled even though I have signed in to the FB all this time. She was able to see my profile photo in the past. What can we do to get my photo reappear on her tray/crate? Why can she see my FB name but not my profile photo? Can someone please explain how this whole thing work? Thanks. BTW, I cannot see my avatar on the crates that I filled on people's boats nor can I see my friend's avatar when this happened.
All my icons disappeared in one fowl swoop. All gone, FB friends the lot.
my friends and followers are all still there and I can read their farm names but I cannot see their icons only see a "gingerbread" icon.
I gave it a couple of days to see if they would return but no.
I've tried fiddling with settings/GC/FB but to no avail, and I'm not going to spend hours following complicated instructions when it seems likely to me that it's a glitch that is out of our hands.
MODERATORS PLEASE FIX! Hope you're reading these replies!!
MissSwan my icons have been gone for weeks now! I wish this would get fixed soon bc I am very tired of just looking at the default gingerbread heads!! Takes some of the fun out of playing.
Whew, glad it's not just me. It's been this way for almost a month for me. I tried everything and nothing has worked. Hoping they get it fixed soon!
Not here to complain, just to add that I am also having this issue.
I'd also like to add that ranting at mods won't help our cause; just saying "help me, or fix it" doesn't help HD figure out how to fix it either. That being said and by no means at all trying to be malicious or condescending, posting the device and OS may help them sort things out.
Thank you mods for your time and consideration.
Itīs been weeks that pictures are not showing up...will you fix it soon??
Also when will be the big update that was supposed to come around easter??
Thanks!
No, they have not given up. This is, apparently, a Facebook issue and there really isn't much that SC can do when it's someone else's property and program. SC is, however, still trying to figure if there is anyway that they can assist FB in fixing this issue.
Since this is annoying but does not prevent HDers from playing (and is not even of SC origins), SC Technical Support is giving priority to issues that DO prevent game play and that they do have control over. It's certainly not fair to demand that an annoying issue of not having an avatar show in a boat crate take precedence over dozens of folks who don't even have a farm to play. If you had a lost farm and were not able to play at all, would you think it's fair for Support to put you aside so they could fuss with annoying issue that's not even their fault and doesn't prevent play?
Folks have a habit of forgetting that there are 3 SC games that Support maintains, that there are hundreds of aspects for those 3 games that MUST be watched 24 hours a day, that equipment must be maintained and breakdowns repaired, that issues with 3rd party partners (ie, FB and GC) cause problems that they have to try and find go arounds for because they have no control over another company's equipment, that there are thousands of Support tickets daily that must be investigated and the technical issues handled (such as lost farms/villages/bases, graphics issue, game bugs, device problems, etc, etc.). Folks lose sight of the big picture of what it takes to keep just HD up and running for the majority of farmers, let alone 2 other games, one of which is has 5-7 times as many players as HD.
If this was your kid's school and his locker door stuck, but they were still able to open and close it and use the locker properly, should the custodial staff fix that first rather than the locker in the next hall that won't open at all, or the leaky roof the prevents an entire classroom from being usable, or the clogged toilets on the first floor that is a health hazard, or the broken air conditioner that could close down the entire school if it can't be quickly fixed? SC's priorities may not match what you think they should be, but if they didn't handle the priorities properly as required for 3 games that multiple millions of folks play, you'd have more to worry about than not seeing an avatar on a crate.
Also, just like SC's technical staff, the team of volunteer moderators have a multitude of responsibilities covering 3 forums, several thousands of members, and hundreds of threads daily. I'm afraid we cannot give daily updates to each and every thread as much as we would love to to do just that. We do our best to post when we can and/or when we actually have a status change to give.
I see FB avatar again for a while now: myself, neighbor's, random people from the Daily Dirt....
Also noticed that my FB profile has been switched to the new layout. (not sure it has anything to do with the avatar not showing, I don't connect to FB every day)
Hi Cricks3,
First of all, I do appreciate the effort en time you moderators put into this forum. No doubt about that.
Just wanted to react, not start a flameware, but just to give my view on the subject 'cause I see thing a little different' .
From an IT and support perspective, people who can't access their farm anymore should have priority at a support-desk and helped asap. However, when from inside a game connections are made to other services (eg Facebook) and that doesn't work anymore, that is not a support matter. To me, with a little insight into IT organizations, this is a matter for development and should be treated as such. Maybe even resulting into a new revision of the game.
Consequences of relying on other services (facebook, GC) results in this kind of crossreferences and maybe outages because there is no control on what the other service is changing.
In respect to that, when I read in articles that Supercell made ' hundreds of millions of dollars' last year, I think we, the gamers, might have a little more game-support than as to what they are showing us now. Supercell isn't a small startup anymore with a nice little game that we as a community, need to give some slack from time to time. It's all about $$$ when talking about that kind of revenue.
Yep, I might stop playing the game if I find the support to inadequate. I might just do that. But as I told earlier, if they are busy with the next revision and things are fixed, that's an answer too. Just be open...
Regards,
Sharky
In our chat room we joke about us wnating to see our pics, but we can't anymore why? It is not GC glitch, it's not a FB glitch it has to be within SC servers, please fix.
In the friends,neighborhood,followers boxes below only some peoples pics show ,half of them are missing .
and when I fill crates on the boats that I help people , the pics are also not on the crates .
and I have asked some people if they have the same problem and they say yes.
Please can you have a look at that .

I see your post/advice on many issues which I can appreciate, but you might want to tone down a bit when addressing people who report problems which indicates they are still playing this game that in turn you have something to voluntarily moderate about. Maybe if you or SC just post a broadcast at the very front page that HD had issue displaying avatar & that it is being addressed & to call on people to be patient, I'm sure you won't have this subject on this forum. Just sayin!
I installed the update, found a friend who needed boat help,
& held my breath & cross my fingers as I filled the crate....
My picture! Oh how I missed you! Lol
It's so nice to see a colorful friends and followers list again & now I know who has helped me with a quick glance instead of straining my eyes to read their farm name! Thank you SC, I hope this lasts!
Now back to my helping spree...
Happy farming🌸
Yes Cricks3, the update has given me my avatar back along with the avatars of my friends! I am very excited! Thank you for the updates and thank you SC for working so hard to get this fixed! I am very excited about the new update and look forward to building my town and helping others to build theirs!!
my avatar issue is fixed as well. Two farms on separate devices. Picture resolving even seems faster.
Thx!
Yes! Problem fixed! TY Supercell!!!
Well, it seems I have the same problem.
In the last two weeks, I couldn't see my picture at all.
I tried on my android phone, tried with Blue Stacks and Andy OS.
I've tried with a different facebook account too, same problem.
Is there another fix? Because today hayday updated and my facebook profile picture it's still missing from the game.
