Both in the My Characters view and in (the most, strangely with a few exceptions there) the character view itself the image is not displayed because that request gets
<Error>
<Code>RequestHeaderSectionTooLarge</Code>
<Message>Your request header section exceeds the maximum allowed size.</Message>
I did not capture what blows up the size. Are you playing with absurdly large cookies or something? I think having your images is important and really would like that to be fixed. Also paying for this...
I think there should be a pretty decent change that the person having designed this should understand the reason with this pretty quickly. Fixing it would be much appreciated for sure.
The Upvote/Like/Thank system here is what blows the cookie size up to unloadable proportions. That’s why I suggested clearing all of that stuff.
Did log me out, reset preferences, made it show latests message again, ..., but did not solve the problem. Looks like (at least for me) the cookies created right away blow past the limit for that image request header. Though, not always is very strange.
My rating cookie is null. the site is just using to many cookies with more than a short title and key value. It is the sum (if this is the only problem).
For starters the character page gets 44 fields. Then the names are not all short, 44 times <average of some not short> is expensive if you have (for very good reasons) a limit of 8KB. Then the cobalt-token is 1KB in its value alone. Sailthru content is as absurdly long. Cookies are not for storing the real payload. You are supposed to pretty much put a few IDs into it, and not a history of IDs, but pretty much the user-ID to look up all the other stuff, and a seesion-ID to know when they break their train of sequential clicking...
To be honest, I don’t even have the problem in that other thread and don’t need an extension at all. I use this site on Safari on either my iPhone11 or iPad5 and have no problems simply clearing my cookies, cache, and history 1ce every couple’a months and it solves the problem for me. 🤷♂️
Sorry neighbor, I don’t know what else to suggest. I don’t have the issue you apparently have. 🤷♂️
As I said, thanks for linking the information. But if what is there and does match my research I did today (really pretty much the whole day ffs) is true nothing can be done on the user side while it should be very simple to fix it on the developer side -- by using cookies limited to what they are supposed to do. Sadly I cannot (almost) proof it as I cannot put a modifying reverse proxy in between as it is (for good reasons) httpS (and if the long cookies are really needed [in this version] or verified first it would just blow up anyways). But it isn't my job either.

Try clearing your cookies, cache, and browser history. That aught to clear it up for a little while at least.

might not be (only) the request size after all?
after reload On the other hand: https://www.dndbeyond.com/avatars/25662/860/1581111423-73518030.jpeg?width=150&height=150&fit=crop&quality=95&auto=webp does work.
The other problems still persist. This race condition dependent one seems to be independent (and maybe irrelevant).

okay, it is related, but a mixture of race conditions and that large header

most of the time, but not always, results in the error message XML fragment about the header being to large being returned, while https://www.dndbeyond.com/avatars/25662/860/1581111423-73518030.jpeg seemingly always works.

Thank you for the information link. Sadly deleting everything does not fix it for me and the incognito workaround does not work anymore.
Look further into the thread for the browser extension info. There’s an extension that you can download to block that specific cookie:
