The Case of the Disappearing Avatars

It happened to me only once, 2-3 days ago.
I was using the same laptop, same browser.
When I was looking through the threads I usually don't read, and one member's avatar was not showing - there were two posts in the same thread and neither post show the avatar.
I forgot who it was, but because it was someone I didn't know (I mean I've never seen his name before) and it happened only once, so did not think about it until I read this thread...

I don't remember clearly, but only member's name was shown, no title (like ナスqナステ敖、窶「ツス窶督ッツ、ツ皇窶伉セナスq, etc), no avatar. I thought it was a member who was banned, but no, at least no information was shown.

neither have I, what browser&version are you using?
I'm using Firefox 1.5. After searching around, I've noticed that a lot of pictures seem to be acting strangely. The "new posts in forum" icon is no where to be found when I veiw the board. Except here:

And also:

Edit: I cleared the cache and the original picture is gone, but some of the other pictures are still not where they should be.

Many times ......

in the past few years, I have noticed the little white box with a red x in it in place of a picture or avatar. I always figured it ment there was a link to the pic or avatar that had a problem? I think they call it "linking to a URA" ?

OK this is going to sound stupid but well just now i was repling to a PM and i pressed enter to go down a line and a gient eye apeard at the bottom of the screen where the smilies you use as a tag for a post are

Don't laugh its true bizarre do you think the site has a bug or are Uncle Franks avatars getting to me ?

no joke there really was this eye maybe there is some kind of graphic bug with the site
 
Just a little update: I access JREF from two separate computers with two indendent internet connections. One of these connections is not all that fast, but the one I am using at the moment is quite fast. I have the same problem with the same avatars on both computers for some reason. I use Firefox on both computers, and although I don't know the version of Firefox on my other computer, this one is 1.5.0.8 Japanese version.

I've never had problems with pictures being in the wrong place or mysterious eyeballs, though.
 
I'll try upgrading. I'm downloading Firefox 2 as I "speak".
 
I just installed Firefox 2.0. I still can't see the same avatars that I couldn't see before. What is going on here?

What I really don't understand is why only a select few will not appear....☝
 
I use firefox at home (don't think it's the latest tho) and IE at work, and i'm not having problems seeing anyone's avatars from either of those machines.
 
Sometimes...

pop-up blockers or security setting too high block things on my PC?

same problem - can`t see some avatars, [AD] instead of the picture... but never concidered it a problem before... Maybe, some explorer`s settings? I am using IE6, btw
 
I updated to firefox 2.0 and it got worse. =/


Edit: Nevermind I fixed it. It was the plugin I had installed, fasterfox.
