2. Yes. There was post a week ago and it hasn't changed. Here is what is happening for me:

With all "blocking" add-ins or security software disabled I still can't see them.

1.HOWEVER: if I click on the posts whose avatars don't show up in the thread to respond, I generally CAN see them.
2. A few avatars DO show up and these appear to be those that the user downloaded themselves and NOT DU-provided--even on the threads without trying to respond.
3. If I click on the (missing, non-rendered) avatar to have it load in a new tab, I get an error message that states:


The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to www.democraticunderground.com.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.


4. As to the message above, I am accepting cookies, have cleared cache, repeat, rinse, repeat.

5. Because these avatars typically DO show up when I click to respond to the post but not when I see it on the thread, I honestly do not think it is a user problem. Earl G/Elad... what do you think?
