Is it just me, or can everyone no longer see each others avatars?

Under each members username when they post, it normally displays a little 150x150 pic, but now all I can see is blank page space...

Yup all fine here, you have reverted back to one of your old ones thow ;)

I have noticed quite a few problems with avatars, when you change it can take up to a few weeks to actuly change over! And sometimes itll go back to an old one when you change it.....

Just try loging out and in again, in both firefox and IE to see if its a browser problem.

CTRL-F5 might solve the refresh problem
maybe you accidently disabled avatars in your controls

Weird, I turned off my firewall and the avatars reappeard. I turned it back on and I can only see the avatars saved to my cache during the time I had my firewall turn off!

BTW- I changed my avatar last night and this is when the problem started..

Sounds like your firewall is blocking connections to wherever the avatars are stored... which appears to be:

209.85.48.12

which resolves to:

ev1s-209-85-48-12.ev1servers.net

Its quite possible that this domain has been blacklisted for some reason... what firewall are you using? I dont use one, and have not had an issue seeing any avatars... although I notice you and crazy seem to have a avatar-rotate-itis... i swear crazy has a new avatar every other day :)

I am running Zone-Alarm's firewall, and have just solved my problem. All I had to do was disable 'Ad Blocking' under privacy which I had activated the other day.

I'll let my Mozilla browser keep blocking them instead!
