It looks as if they've all gone... will they return?

| Yeah, I sure miss getting up everyday to see that funny pic of a SUV owner driving while his dog walks alongside them. That was priceless. |

There is some ongoing maintance going on with the site. It is my understanding that they will be returning.
Thanks

I've noticed the server is a lot faster now.
Is there a relationship between speed and not having Avatars? |

The increased speed came from a significant upgrade in server. The absence of the avatars is a result of some work being done to "clean up" the code. So they are both a part of a process of house cleaning but are not directly related.
--- at least that is how this liberal arts guy understands the situation.

Does this effect the inline images as well or did I post something incorrectly?
Thanks,

I can not see avatars in Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X, with latest versions of all software.
...is this to save bandwidth?!

it looks like the file with all the links to the various avatars is missing, corrupted or something. I'm not sure if we can get it back the way it was, but try to upload/link a new avatar 
sorry for the inconvenience.
edit: looks like uploading/linking to a new avatar doesn't work.

Would be good to have the avatars back. They're part of the colorful character of the forum, with some of the colorful characters we have here
