Expected behavior
A user's profile image should always be displayed correctly when viewing your wallet.
Actual behavior
When viewing a users profile on the profile page, the profile image doesn't display correctly. It shows a broken image.
How to reproduce
- Go to your wallet.
- Note that your profile image doesn't load.
I suspect this isn't happening to every user, this may not be easy to replicate.
Video/Screenshots
The following screenshot provides additional clarity surrounding the issue:
Issue & Resolution
Currently, profile images are pulled from a user's json_metadata as seen in the following code:
https://github.com/nirvanaitsolutions/swapsteem/blob/master/src/app/profile/profile.component.ts
In order to resolve this issue and overall reduce the risk of error by providing an easy solution for fallback. The profile image should no longer be pulled from the json_metadata and overall can be simplified by using the following URL to load a user's profile image.
https://steemitimages.com/u/<username>/avatar
Simple replace <username> with tobias-g (no @ required) to view my profile image.

Hi @tobias-g, thanks for making this contribution.
I am able to replicate this behavior. The profile picture failed to load in the wallet page.
I see this has been acknowledged by the PO and it looked as though initially there were plans to have it fixed. It is particularly strange that the issue was closed without a fix.
The steps were an easy walk through. I like manner in which you described what could have possibly resulted in the bug. The fix you proposed was well detailed. Since the bug is yet to be fixed, we cannot be certain if that would have solved the case.
Thanks again for the contribution :)

Thank you for your review, @fego! Keep up the good work!
Thank you @tobias-g for the bug, although the screenshot I am seeing appears to be from older version of the app. Can you try to reproduce the same with the latest application at www.swapsteem.online
Hi @svijay1692,
You're correct it is an older version, this was related to the issue on reported on 25th January 2019, however, I only just got round to posting on Utopian now. The issue can be found here:
https://github.com/nirvanaitsolutions/swapsteem/issues/53
I did however take another look and the issue is still present on the latest build, please see the screenshot below:
