Wtf happened ??? Most Avatars are gone :o
Greetz, Red.
Not in my side…
No problem here, you don’t say what your default browsers is ?
Try clearing your browser temp internet files/cache and reload the page.
Mmm … I only have this problem in Firefox, not in Opera and IE. It happened after I installed the latest shockwave player. Tried a deinstall and reinstall, but that doesn’t fix it.
I will use the disk image from yesterday.
Greetz, Red.
Strange this is often a problem I used to find with IE.
This on occasion was certain image sharing sites being unavailable, but in this case all of the avatars on this topic are located in the avast forums server.
In your first post you mentioned ‘most avatars are gone,’ if you right click on the ones that are there and select copy image location. You will probably find that those are located in image sharing locations like photobucket, etc. If that is the case you might have something blocking the avast forum avatar location https://forum.avast.com/avt/avatar_18134.png, this one is yours.
If you click on that one are you able to see your avatar ?
Can you see this image of your avatar ?
On the same boat as Rednose, using Fx, no avatars to be seen.
Tried with Opera, a few avatars loaded, but still not all.
Given your response, I’m beginning to suspect some sort of security add-on blocking, etc. Since those locations are now prefixed by https
This one’s mine
https://forum.avast.com/avt/avatar_4371.gif
This should display it:
https://forum.avast.com/avt/avatar_4371.gif
Another point is the file format, my avatar is an animated .gif and a number of those on this page are .png, so it may be that for some reason you are unable to display some image file types.
yeah I got no avatar issue in Firefox, but I’m using 4.0 so…I have an image issue with Firefox, that other beta users have too: related images displayed by Google in a normal search (not an image search) aren’t displayed most of the time, but yeah that’s the beta…
No problem with Firefox 3.6.8 here. Are you using AdBlock Plus extension and with which subscriptions? I have the two EasyList ones, but I have ABP disabled in this forum.
- +1
- Using AB+ here, too. (Not disabled for this forum…!)
asyn
ABP doesn’t block forum avatars on forums ;D …whatever list you’re using. But ABP can block any image on demand, including avatars, that’s another thing 
Otherwise there’s nothing to block on Avast forums ;D
DavidR, your post saved the day 
http://forum.avast.com/avt/avatar_18134.png
Showed my Avatar. But :
https://forum.avast.com/avt/avatar_18134.png
Showed : see screenshot
So Firefox says the connection is not secure, because the identity of the website can not be confirmed. Adding it as an exception solves the problem. The Avatars are back
But why do I have this problem only with Firefox, and not with other browsers ? Any help and/or info would be appreciated 
Greetz, Red.
@Rednose: Firefox sends this sort of alert on Avast forums if you’re browsing in https. There’s a certificate issue with Avast, explaining the warning because Firefox checks that, and so do other browsers actually, well Chrome does.
Well, funny thing is I don’t browse the forum in https.
Greetz, Red.
yeah okay your alert is not a certificate alert, just a warning that the connection is insecure because authentication couldn’t be done or something >>> hey, could you show exactly the content of the alert, especially the technical details that don’t appear extended on your screen shot. You would have to remove what you did when trusting it permanently, and as it’s not a certificate, the info must be stored in “urlclassifier3.sqlite” (or similar naming, depending on the version of Firefox that you use. It’s up to you whether you want to delete that file or not; it will be regenerated.
Rednose, you need to clean the certificates stored in your Firefox database.
Then you can reload the page with the new certificates (Chocholo said they released new ones lately).
The extended screenshot.
Greetz, Red.
okay so that was indeed a certificate issue as I first thought, just do as Tech advised, delete anything from avast in Firefox certificate store, and reload a forum page. Weird anyway as I never had any authentication issue with Avast in plain http : …and there’s no cert check in http anyway, as none has to be provided, so…
that’s what you get from Avast in http (no ssl); so your alert is hard to explain
Where can I find the Firefox certificate database ???
