Hi guys. I have been browsing this site for a few months now, but this is the first time I have felt the need to post something. With so much information on here to look through I have just been reading and learning, but I feel like it would be a big help to everyone researching this company on this forum if I shared my experience.
I found this company (Camgirl Live Editor website aka xniteproductions.com) through this forum, and I loved the look of the templates and wanted to spice up my bio. This seemed perfect, and since no one on here had anything negative to say about the website, I signed up for the $20 a month CB premium account. I spent a few hours learning the menu system, picking out the template that I liked best, and tweaking the layout to arrange everything perfectly how I wanted it. I pasted the code in my bio, and it looked great. To be sure it looked perfect I checked the layout on my bio from another computer, and the images were "messed up". They looked blurry.
Here is how it is supposed to look:
This is how it turned out:
I assumed that I messed something up and that I could just fix whatever the problem was. So i researched the help section at the website and found this post by Dan here: https://camgirl.xniteproductions.co...-category/chaturbate-html-css-issue/#post-185
This part:
This seemed a little condescending, and didnt make a lot of sense to me, but I am only a novice web developer so I thought I would give it a try, and it did correct the problem... until I hit refresh. Blury images again. I then thought I would figure this out on my own and spent way to many hours over the next 2 weeks trying to figure out what the problem was. I researched and mined google for any bit of information I could find. I even moved every single image one at a time and hosted them on a different website, but I still had the same issue. Its an unacceptable blurry mess.
The issue is that CB configures their proxy in a way that images with a transparent background are not displayed correctly. I was at a dead end with trying to fix it myself, so I wrote the support and explained my issue. Here is the email chain.
This solution made no sense to me... what am I supposed to do, tell every one of my customers that they have to clean out their internet cache and use CCleaner, everytime they come to my page? Yes, it only happens on chrome, but chrome is 60% of the browser market! I emailed him back and said this, and here is his reply:
The spoon and ice cream analogy was too much. If a restaurant served me melted ice cream with a hair in it, then said sorry, its the ice creams fault, not ours, I would demand my money back and tell all my friends never to go there. So, that is what I am doing.
I understand that his website cannot control how CB renders their images. BUT they are selling this product that they KNOW does not work on chrome. They do NOT mention this anywhere, and of course they have a no refunds policy. "sorry just company policy, nothing we can do"
TLDR: This bio editor does not work on chrome, and the guy selling the service knows that. They will not give a refund.

Update:
Some of the existing issues seam to be fixed except the PNG (with transparency) image files which are rendered (like all images) trough CB own proxy.
Due to this masking of the URL path the PNG image files are rendered in poor quality.
Sorry for that, we hope Chaturbate will improve the image delivery via proxy.
To fix this issue you must clear your browser cache, cookies and residual resources (files, temporary saved pages...).
You can use CCleaner or Iobit Cleaner
It seams that this issue is more present with Chrome browsers
If on Editor, the design looks ok (using Chrome) and installed on your Chaturbate doesn't look as it should... then there's a problem and it doesn't fall under CLT support and assistance, as we can't clean youpc/laptop you'll have to do it by yourself

Comment: I have tried a million different things to get some of the images to display correctly in chrome. I read your forums and it seems that this problem has came up before. It definitely has something to do with how chaturbate displays images with transparent backgrounds. I am hoping that you have found a fix, because all my designs are useless otherwise.
Hi brattysophia,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately from our end (Camgirl Live Editor website) we can't do anything.
Before making templates publicly available on our service we test them on Chaturbate and in the past we've encountered the same issue but solved by following the same suggestions posted on our forum -- and worked.
CCleaner does a good job "fixing" this.
https://camgirl.xniteproductions.co...-category/chaturbate-html-css-issue/#post-185
Even if Chaturbate is masking the graphics via their proxy url all images are still hosted by our service and the problem is the bad configuration of their proxy for Chrome browser.
To test this and make sure that our website is providing high quality service with no problems in rendering png with transparency images, copy the image url and open it in another tab using the same Chrome browser.
If it renders ok but on Chaturbate looks fuzzy, you can make your own conclusions.
From what we've understand other webcam performers already contacted Chaturbate support and their suggestion was same as ours -- CCleaner to remove any residual folders and clear cache, restart browser and ... problem fixed.
We can't guarantee that it will work from the first time you try.
Best regards,
Support - Camgirl Live Editor

Thank you for contacting us.
There are +5k registered members using our service, doing the math at least 30% of them could use Chrome browser and yet only 4 of them contacted us regarding this issue
What will be your suggestion?
Here are some ideas I personally brainstormed them:
- deny access to our service to all users who use Chrome browser
- not using any images as they might get fuzzy on chaturbate
- deny access to image uploading
- use only jpeg images
- put the service offline
None of this will change the fact that some PNG images with transparency look fuzzy on chaturbate, from our service or any other host where the image is uploaded
We understand your frustration but if you go to a restaurant and order ice-cream , the chef is serving you the cup of ice-cream and a spoon (the spoon is a tool, just like our editor)
The ice-cream is melted and a string of hair shows hanging around.
Do you complain about the spoon or the ice-cream?
From our end we can't do anything because we don't work as Chaturbate employees
Again, what will be your suggestion? What do you think we should do, the course of action?
The spoon and ice cream analogy was too much. If a restaurant served me melted ice cream with a hair in it, then said sorry, its the ice creams fault, not ours, I would demand my money back and tell all my friends never to go there. So, that is what I am doing.
I understand that his website cannot control how CB renders their images. BUT they are selling this product that they KNOW does not work on chrome. They do NOT mention this anywhere, and of course they have a no refunds policy. "sorry just company policy, nothing we can do"
TLDR: This bio editor does not work on chrome, and the guy selling the service knows that. They will not give a refund.
