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
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
