Spanish, really?
I need help figuring out why all of the website prompts are speaking to me in Spanish (Espanol). Post something, and I get a prompt in Spanish. As far as I can tell, I am all set for US English. Ideas/suggestions?

Are you using A VPN?

I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility.Location Halifax UK
RE:
No VPN... lol. The language being off; the avatar not working; even tried using Chrome Incognito so all the anti-spam extensions are off doesn't help.
Hablo Espanol con mucho gusto. Y tu?
Maybe it's a need for third party content to be allowed. I'll try that next.
RE: Spanish, really?
Good luck!

RE:
ps: Allowed third party, even tried using Edge ... same issues. Doubt it's my side of things. I might delete this older account and start fresh.

These prompts and responses in a random language have been going on for a long time, to the point that I can't help thinking it's a deliberate ploy to demonstrate the cosmopolitan reach of the forum. The lack of avatars is relatively recent though. They're minor annoyances in the scheme of things, but symptomatic of a lack of interest I think. I sometimes feel we'd be better off asking for Prusa's help on Reddit, rather than the forum they've specifically set up themselves.
@Joan - if you have any clout with the people in Prusa it would be nice to get them to tend to their forum occasionally. While you've got their ear, any chance you could find out why 'likes' went anonymous a month or two ago? Sorry Joan! Is there a better way to get their attention than nagging one of the most genuinely helpful and committed forum moderators I've ever encountered 🙂
EDIT: French that time.
RE:
Yeah, the avatars are being hosted over at Printables, not locally at Prusa3d. Pretty sure that breaks certain conventions because a 3rd party link isn't the same as a 3rd party cookie. I just set up my printables account and selected English as my language (prusa3d doesn't have that user account selection). And certainly the English selection at the top of the page doesn't seem to have any effect.
Hey Joan, it's been a while. Hi.
pps: hey, I just toggled the top language selector from English to Espanol back to English, and guess what? I am getting English responses now. WAIT! Nope, I got ONE English response; exactly one. lol. Maybe Prusa needs to start making games?
RE: Spanish, really?
So here's the issue Prusa engineers need to know about:
1. Same-origin policy and CORSExplanation: The "same-origin policy" is implemented by web browsers as a security measure. It restricts how documents or scripts from one origin interact with resources from another origin. A web page from example.com generally cannot directly access content from anothersite.com without explicit permission from anothersite.com.CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing): CORS headers allow controlled cross-origin requests. If the server hosting the content does not have the correct CORS headers, Chrome will block the request, resulting in a "blocked by CORS policy" error.
RE: Spanish, really?
The issue can be cloudflare or forums reporting source ip being assigned to another country because ip block was moved from one operator to another, or if the ip assigned was registered in different country.
Another idea is cache poisoning and for example certain backend servers changed ids for the language, and thus for one server language id 3 is english, and fir another its spanish 😉
Both things not that easy to fix, I suggest clicking in top right corner and selecting language again
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.
RE: Spanish, really?
Tried the simple language things like the English selector and cache (cleared every time I close Chrome) -- that's not it; also - the Avatars not showing - is clearly a violation of present day web standards (crosslinking data sources) - the language is something else; a sticky in the profile that isn't sticky. Probably another crosslink issue buried in how the prusa website uses printables source material.
Offending code looks like this:
<div class="top-information-login"><div class="top-information-user-dropdown"> <span class="top-information-user-avatar">
