I am also not seeing most Avarats, including my own.
Chrome 16.

 

[Motorheader]

I tried Opera 11.x too and the avatar is just a name where the avatar would be.

 

[MotF Bane]

edro and DrPizza are missing their avatars.

[Lifted]

Just started happening to me 2 minutes ago. 50% of avatars missing, including my own.

And the forums are acting a little "off".

Strange. I can see yours

 

[The Boston Dangler]

yep, no avatars and some painful load times. opera often sucks like that, but other pages are popping right up.

 

[lxskllr]

I'm sure it's the database, and an extension of the recent problems.

My avatar is missing as well. I think it was ok yesterday or the day before. I tried to reupload the image and the site will not take it. Says "can't save image" ... and it is within the required size for an avatar. Please fix .. thanks

 

[highland145]

Noticed spidey and disgruntled have theirs. Must be all in who you know.

 

[Shmee]

I have the same issue, cant see any avatars or upload a new one..

 

[allisolm]

When I posted, I couldn't see any broken ones, including that of the OP. Now, the only one I see in this thread is mine and, from Bubbaleone's post, others don't see that. I looked at a thread in OT and, out of 75 posts, I saw 8 avatars. Dunno what the problem is, but maybe associated with the fact that the main site was down all yesterday and that search is down - again. Sigh. If we're lucky someone from over there will clue us in.

 

[Bubbaleone]

@ allisolm: This is what I got in my control panel when I tried to search " all posts by Bubbaleone". Not bitchin'....just thought this might help figuring out what the problem is with "search" and "avatars" being broken.

 

[bruceb]

I guess this is all a 'benefit' of moving the database into the "cloud"

 

[dank69]

Seems like the standard avatars are working but custom avatars are not. As was posted before, you can't upload custom avatars, you get the message 'can't save image.' You get the same error if you try to use a URL for custom avatar.

 

[sao123]

yes, custom avatars are broken.

its still out there, just not visible..

 

[allisolm]

I was seeing a few custom ones (my own included) but now they're gone as well. Just the AnandTech or Dragons Fury standard ones remaining.

I agree with bruceb

I guess this is all a 'benefit' of moving the database into the ''cloud"

 

[mrblotto]

My avatar is missing as well.

NNnnooooooooooooooooo!!

Same here, I can see some but most I can't. Not mine either
