My avatar is gone

Where did my avatar go? It was hosted by Photobucket and displayed here for years. Today it disappeared.

This is the URL it's set to:

http://www.postimg.com/131000/avatar_9318-130914.jpg

And the site postimg.com is down.

just checking My Palms

Doug- hang in there with this certified "Cyber-Retard"

Does the fact that my avatar source seems to have vaporized mean that they took the whale with them?

Do I look for a new whale?

Do I look confused???

Correct.

And yes, probably best to look for a new avatar at this point.

Already noted in another thread. The software currently is not allowing certain character sets. Not much of a problem if you type your post in the text area - or cut/paste from a *text editor* (not Word for Windows, or similar), or other websites.

Need to remove any accented characters, n's with tildes (~), and use the apostrophes/quote marks from text editors only.

Should be a temporary issue, but is currently the case.

Thank you.

Temporary as in 'manana' (add the tilde)? Manana (add the tilde) meaning not tomorrow, but just not today!

I really don't like the Photobucket site. Move the avatar to Facebook for better results. Make sure it is sized accurately. I wouldn't trust Photobucket with your graphics.

Per Doug's posts above, their avatars were not hosted on Photobucket. Toneart's, (who said it was on Photobucket), avatar was on Postimg.com.
