Hi! I've submitted a jpg photo to be used for my canvas account, but it renders as an empty html image tag. When I try to go to the original file source hosted by canvas everything looks okay, so I'm wondering why it won't display on any other page.
Hi @Matthew_Medford ...
Personally, I don't really associate *.pdf files with images. Yes, you can insert images into *.pdf files (similar to how you could insert images into MS Word documents), but I don't usually try and upload images via *.pdf documents. Instead, I would recommend saving your image as a *.jpg, *.png, or *.gif format. Then, re-try uploading your image to your profile picture in Canvas. I think you'll have better success with one of those formats instead. And, in fact, if you take a look at this Guide, How do I add a profile picture in my user account?, you'll see in the light blue box at the top of the page the suggested file formats to use for uploading your image.
I hope this will be of some help to you. Sing out if you have any other questions about this.
Take care...be well.
@Matthew_Medford How was this issue resolved for you? We're experiencing the same issue currently. It appears to be across our institution.
@AmandaDomogalik We seem to be experiencing similar issues! We see what could be confused with "alt tags" or the dreaded broken small image icon. If I try safari on my phone I have no issues, Firefox v 144.02 and Chrome v 141 have the issue on my windows 11 PC. A Coworker is using a windows 11 PC and Firefox v144 gives her no issues.I talked with support and they said it could be a cache/browser/install issue. I am going to follow up after seeing your message here
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
