53. DON'T PANIC: Everyone's avatars are still there - you just can't see your own.

Open this thread in another browser where you are not logged in to see everyone's avatars including your own.

The problem is that 'upload.democraticunderground.com' is offline. The avatar for the logged in account is loaded from that domain - everyone else's from the same domain you are viewing DU on (typically 'www.democraticunderground.com').

Once 'upload.democraticunderground.com' is back online things will go back to normal - no need to try to change or re-upload your avatar.

It probably is a system issue. bravenak Jun 2015 #42

I see your dog in the thread, but not in the "post a reply view" petronius Jun 2015 #15

Oh, same. I can see your avatar, but not when I reply to your post. lovemydog Jun 2015 #17

First world maybe, but I demand resolution! Skinner better drag Elad out of his petronius Jun 2015 #27

LOL! lovemydog Jun 2015 #32

I see this: Make7 Jun 2015 #9

That's my girl...Thanks abakan Jun 2015 #22

It's weird. When I look at your avatar I see an Arab woman in a blue headdress and CTyankee Jun 2015 #35

Well if I ever get a chance I'll post a better one. abakan Jun 2015 #38

Quick! brer cat Jun 2015 #43

It appears that 'upload.democraticunderground.com' is not responding. Make7 Jun 2015 #20

Thank you for the explanation. abakan Jun 2015 #23

and it also gets used for the post you're replying to in 'Post a Reply' muriel_volestrangler Jun 2015 #39

At some point I think they changed our own avatars to 'upload.democraticunderground.com'... Make7 Jun 2015 #46

I kind of miss your Isopod Aerows Jun 2015 #60

No, it is a vole muriel_volestrangler Jun 2015 #61

I see a blue parrot. Is it a Norwegian Blue? Maybe he's pining for the Fjords... scarletwoman Jun 2015 #16

ha ha no I don't think so abakan Jun 2015 #19

Oh, that's sweet! Nice that it's your own parrot! scarletwoman Jun 2015 #25

She is a year and five months abakan Jun 2015 #26

With a parrot you always have someone to talk to hifiguy Jun 2015 #30

Damn it, you beat me to it. NuclearDem Jun 2015 #44

It happened to me as well... fredamae Jun 2015 #28

Mine - Bernie - is gone too hifiguy Jun 2015 #29

They all must be on break... abakan Jun 2015 #31

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!! yuiyoshida Jun 2015 #33

I blame Hillary for this. L0oniX Jun 2015 #34

Best be careful ...all our Bernie stuff yuiyoshida Jun 2015 #36

The plan is to make it mandatory that everyone change their avatar to Hillary. L0oniX Jun 2015 #40

Then I will use one for Hilarity and blame the confusion on dislexicography. kentauros Jun 2015 #64

I can't see mine but I can see yours Warpy Jun 2015 #47

Things apparently got a little flaky a little while ago. Buns_of_Fire Jun 2015 #48

I tried everything except the latter. abakan Jun 2015 #52

That'll show him! Being flatulated at by 'Buns of Fire' is nothing to sniff at! petronius Jun 2015 #54

Mine too! I use a photo from photobucket, and I don't see where to reload it(?) immoderate Jun 2015 #49

WHO IS VIE PRO and where DID HE TAKE OUR AVATARS? yuiyoshida Jun 2015 #50

Sure. It's Carrot Top. (Strange choice for an avatar, I must say.) Buns_of_Fire Jun 2015 #56

That's weird, the last time I actually SAW my avatar, it was "groundskeeper Willie" tularetom Jun 2015 #57
