It will only show up if someone has the default avatar shown. I've tried seeing if it was the browser I was using (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.), but changing that didn't fix anything. I cleared my temporary internet files, and still nothing. Anyone else having this issue, where it just shows up as a blank box? It's not a huge deal, but it is quite an eye sore seeing all those blank boxes next to the big name users. [Edited by: jcpatriots at 2/9/2012 6:08:19 AM EST]

It could be the servers were down for maintenance or upgrades. That kind of stuff general happens in the middle of the night so that it will impact a fewer number of users.

CampKohler Champion Author Sacramento Posts:9,681 Points:1,584,410 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Feb 9, 2012 1:18:39 PM Ignore CampKohler Report Abuse Is this also happening to any items on the pages that are clearly graphics (vs. text), such as the GB nozzle logo in the upper left-hand corner of the page? What about the B.O.A. logos?
