OK, looks like we have a solution for the avatar issue. If you have noticed problems with avatars you might try clearing out your cache. All web browsers store data locally on your machine so that it loads faster. For you dial-up guys, this usually means much faster than if it had to reload everything from the server.
For Internet Explorer:
Open a browser window, click on "tools" on the menu bar. A window will pop up. In the middle of the window will be a catagory called "Browsing History", and a button labeled "Delete...". Click on Delete, another window will open, you now have the option to delete one of 5 categories of files, or towards the bottom is a button to "Delete all". Click it and answer "yes".
Firefox:
Open a browser window, click on "tools" on the menu bar. Select "Clear Private Data" from the menu. A window will pop up with several options. Click the check box for Cache, the third item. Then click on "Clear Private Data Now".
Your cache should now be cleared and hopefully no more problems.
Please report any problems you may still be having to this thread.
Thank You,
Kevin
