@Greg Bernhardt You might want to look at the avatar permissions. I'm getting blank avatars for a lot of users. Yours is OK but when I click on Evo's or lisab's I get a broken image link. I tried copying the image url and it returns a 403 Forbidden error.

Edit: More info. When I right click on a visible avatar and select copy image location, I get something like this (Bystander's):

However, the url in the popup window uses a different url which is blocked:
https://physicsforums-bernhardtmediall.netdna-ssl.com/data/avatars/l/0/50.jpg?1419667523

Looks like the stuff in the l directory doesn't have permissions set correctly.

Now I'm getting some m directory images that won't display either:
