DUers who are having a problem with their avatars - are you using Firefox?

7. A test, and perhaps a stupid suggestion.

I haven't experienced this issue but am wondering if the domain the images are coming from might point to the underlying issue.

How do the avatars display if you view this thread on upload.democraticunderground.com?

Do you see all avatars? All but your own? Perhaps missing other ones?

If you can see all but the second avatar above, try saving the image of the first one to your computer and then uploading it as a custom avatar. Sounds dumb, but maybe default avatar images are not loading properly for some reason but custom avatars are okay.


When you are browsing DU, your own avatar is coming from upload.democraticunderground.com even if the page is on www.democraticunderground.com (where everyone else's avatar would load from). That seems to be making a difference, although I am not sure why.
