Does anyone know why my avatar keeps disappearing? It was fine for a long, long time....6-8 months I guess. Then one day it was gone. I put it back up and a short time late rit vanished again. I have repeated this several times, but every time it disappears in a little while. When it goes away  it is replaced by a little white box with a small, red x in it. How can I stop it from doing this?

Thanks for your help.

Are you uploading the avatar to offsetguitars.com or hosting it elsewhere and providing a URL?
Bigger in sum than parts.

Ha-ha. I transform into this every Halloween......bewar to those who make fun of Regormortis!  :wtf:

Just kiddin'....I'll agree that it's a rather disturbing look.

Since I grew tired of the disappearing act, and finally decided to ask for help, it has not done it again....yet anyway. Weird.

Well, my avatar stayed for a long time. It got to the point I started thinking I was crazy. However, a few minutes ago it disappeared again. This time I noticed that it happened right after I had used the search function. I had to upload my avatar again. Is this normal?

No.  It's not normal.  However I use the search function regularly without any issues and I can't see how they could be related anyway.
