Why is it that so many other peoples' avatars do not show up for me when I view their posts? It seems pretty random to me whose avatar I can see and whose I can not see. Is there anything I can do to fix this and make it so I can see everyone's avatar?

It's the closest thing here to looking at someone's eyes, and I'd appreciate any help to gaze at everyone's beautiful eyes!
 
I have beutiful eyes *blush* lol

Can you see my avatar?

I'v had parts of my post deleted moments after posting it a couple o times
 
Actually, no. What I see in place of your avatar is a line of text which mysteriously states (Ad-Size)
If I want to see your avatar, I have to look at your public profile.

weird i can see you avatar the little showering man

Hmmm would Java script course the problem?
 
Oh God, I'm crushed !!

You mean all my hard work of changing avatars all the time is going to waste, you can't see & enjoy them? That is almost as bad as having a broken chat room !!!!!

Uncle Frank

 
I can see your both avatars.
Miki is "so bored" and Mikawa san is taking shower, no? xD

Oh and Uncle Frank has one-eyed guy. xDD
 
My bro said it can be the browser if your useing internet explorer it can course it

He said try Firefox ^^
 
I have had no such problems, Mikawa Ossan. Is this a recent development? Perhaps you could try clearing your internet cache and cookies?
 
I see your avatar and everyone else's, too, in this thread and all others I've visited so far. :?
 
Actually, I am using Firefox. I can see everyone's avatar who has posted in this thread so far except for Cue and Miki78. I have no idea why.

Let's see...I started noticing it at least a month ago maybe, but either it's getting worse or I'm just noticing it more.

Frank, don't worry, it looks like we can all see your pearly white "eye" (to mix metaphors).
 
That's weird actually, did you reinstall firefox and tried again? (might work)
 
I don't see any avatars...but then I have them turned off!
 
This thread title sounds like an Agatha Christie detective story..
 
There must be an option in the settings something like "Show other people's avatars" and/or "Show other people's signtures". There usualy is such an option in most forums like this. I didn't actualy check it if this one has such a feature.
 
That looks weird!! :| Haven't seen that before on JREF.
 
neither have I, what browser&version are you using?
 
Some weird glitches here, I have never seen them before on vBulletin in general.
 
Wow, Nicky, that's SO WEIRD, indeed! XD
Thank you for sharing something so unusual with us! ^_^
 
A Ha !!!!


I get that now with the new Internet Explorer 7. Up at the top right , there is a little house symbol and a printer symbol under where it says "Live Search"; there is a small orange square with 3 white marks. If you hold the cursor over it, it says "view feeds on this page". If you click on it, it gives you a very weird view of JREF's pages? I don't remember anything like that on IE6?

Uncle Frank

 
I have no problem seeing all members' avatars including Uncle Frank's, whose avatar I look forward to seeing change everyday. That's why I am hesitant to download IE 7 until all the bugs are worked out.
 
That picture bears a striking resemblance to Glenn's avatar...


Incidentally, I can't see Ayu-Youkou's avatar either. I haven't tried reinstalling Firefox, but I just might give it a go someday.

So there's no JREF reason for random avatars not showing up?
