...for sites where my security add-ons mess things up really badly. I'm not real happy about that, because I have left my version of Chrome pretty much unsecured, with no add-ons. (Actually, I'm running Chromium, which is a version of Chrome with the Google spyware stripped out of it). But it's really lame that in 2025, some web-shites still exist where security add-ons make it impossible for the site to function.

Anyway, you may have fixed the problem now. I had to clear almost everything from my browser to get things back to normal. It looks like all the avatar graphics are displaying properly for me at the moment.

Not sure, but let me know if the problem reoccurs for you too... hlthe2b Jan 2025 #14
