Between last night, and log in this morning, all avatars have VANISHED, and are replaced by a red X, in their place. Can anyone offer some insight, assistance, help, aid, or guidance? I don't have a clue what caused this, or how to address it.
The red-x would can mean a few things:
-
The actual avatar files are gone or not in the folder specified in your configuration setting.
-
The premissions to the avatar folder has been changed and your webserver no longer has access to it.
-
If the avatars are stored in the database then the avatar table could have been corrupted or blown away.

Looks like you are using Drupal so check your admin settings:
4a) http://www2.swaylocks.com/admin/themes/settings/*yourtheme*
Enable ‘User pictures in posts’ and ‘User pictures in comments’
4b) http://www2.swaylocks.com/admin/settings/user
‘Enable’ Picture support. You can also set size of avatar.
Did you recently do any updates to the site?
Otherwise I hope the info above helps.
Thank you. When I click on the links you provided, it comes up with ACCESS DENIED. So, I'm lost. I did not do any updates of anything on the computer.
I’m not seeing avatars, also. No red “X”, but that may be a browser difference . I use Firefox, current version.
I was typing a message last night, and somehow it posted 8 times, while I was typing it no less. I have never seen anything like it, and its filled my thread up with garbage. I cant undo it, not on my own. It happened on message 32./38. Id like to keep 39. The administrator has no contact info for me to PM. And, same deal with the links provided on this thread, Access Denied, same when I click “contact us”. Any help would be appreciated!
Check it out, its rediculous.

Not to pile on or anything, but I had a little wrinkle yesterday while trying to post on the Kwik Kick thread.
Passing gremlins?
As of log on, this evening, all avatars are back. Everything is back to normal. Perhaps it was gremlins! You think?
I made a post earlier today, and the message was duplicated 12 times. Balsa helped me remove the extra eleven. Sounds like either Gremlins or software developers working on the server.
My threads still full of garbage. I will try to PM Balsa.
