I had posted this to the community, but did get no response so far, so I file it as a bug.
I have activated MyTiki and avatars. In order that everyone sees everyones avatar, I set (as admin) user info to public on all registered users.
First: Changing a users avatar with the switch users feature for admins changes the avatar of the admin...
Second: The preference user info = public is lost. I cannot see any regularity. I always click Save changes, and there is no error message. Also, all settings from MyTiki get lost. I activated all MyTiki checkboxes for all users, and they keep vanishing. It does not seem to be a caching issue.
When I set everything the way I want it and click Save Changes, the following information is immediately forgotten (and no errror message!):
- Country (but stragely location is not lost...)
- User information public reverts to private
- Mouse over user information shows info window (if user permits)
- All MyTiki settings
All other preferences are stored without error. I guess that some logic or permissions rule dictates that users cannot change some preferences.
If that is the case, these presets should be admin configurable somewhere and I did not find them? Anyhow, if users are not permitted to change some preferences, then users should not be presented a GUI to change them, or should get an error message that this preference is preset for them.
Thanks for your support

Hopefully fixed in master in 431eb781 and 21.x in c5e67617 , sorry it took so long to get there!
If you can test on trunk and/or 21.x and it's ok i'll backport it to 18.x
Backported to 18.x in ad2598bb
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
The URL for the show.tikiwiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://hman-11504-7249.show.tikiwiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://hman-11504-7249.show.tikiwiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show.tikiwiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://hman-11504-7249.show.tikiwiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
