Quick find code: 278-279-642-66157090
I also just went trough the trouble to make a picture, so my clanposts for OSRS would look a little cooler. To discover the system is glitched

Thanks for at least addressing this problem but the fact you say "There isn't a fix in the work for this currently." is just underwhelming. I would love to see this fixed soon. The photo booth not as easy to implement as you might think.
The rendering of photo booth images is done on the server, but the server has no graphics capabilities. It exchanges messages with the clients, runs scripts, and updates the databases representing the state of the game and the players. The server doesn't have any sort of graphics card or even a screen, it is purely a data processing engine.
So, all rendering for the photo booth has to be done in software. Complicated things like wrapping a texture round a model really needs a graphics processor. The server is able to render a chat head with nothing equipped, but the complex graphics used by a lot of more recent head slot items are beyond its capabilities.
I suppose it would be possible to get the client to render the chat head, but the problem with that is validating the image sent back to the server. It would be all too easy for trolls to substitute inappropriate images.
A solution would be to have some dedicated servers with graphics cards to do the rendering, but that is a whole new set of software, and protocols for communicating with them, so is a huge amount of work. Glad to be of service
