Why as so many avatars gone missing ?
does anyone know ?
Mine as dissapeared and everytime I try to put it back up it says url not valid.
I see Docmikes as gone too.

PS
I use photobucket, as sidecaranne, could this be a reason, although that's how I got it up the first time. |

Good question, at first I thought it was just yours.
Paul, any idea what the problem is? _________________ CBR1100XX/EZS

Mine was linked to my old aol webpage, which disappeared when aol shut down the hometown section, and I haven't gotten around to reposting and relinking a new one.

Oh yeah, mine was too but I wonder about Keith's and the others
It must have to do with where the avitar was hosted because they are not all gone. _________________ CBR1100XX/EZS

I took a quick look, nothing seems to be broken on the server side. Can someone with a broken avatar try changing theirs to something new?
Unfortunately the admin control panel doesn't display what the avatar path name is - makes it hard to diagnose the problem further.
(Technical note: the avatar is a link - it is *not* cached on the hpsidecars.com server - so if the original image goes away, so does your avatar here). |

Yep, looks like avatars work okay. If yours is broken, make sure your offsite storage is correct, and edit your account if needed for the new location. |

I changed my photobucket selection to direct link, and it seems to have worked.
Cheers guys
