Since I can't comment on mmhmm's thread about missing avatars.... My background (gray swirl) is missing and showing blocks of the Photobucket message. I'm sure it's happened to all of them. Anyone know what the default background is named? I want to not see all those boxes, please and thank you.  |

I am wondering if there is a chance that a good Samaritan might repopulate that "Use a Forum Avatar - Pick One" option with things hosted by one of the places in mmhmm's thread for those of us with a technology impairment?

Mine just reappeared on my post on this thread. I wasn't seeing it anywhere before.

Cheesy, your avatar has also survived. The background I mean is the entire board background, not my avatar background. I have the boxes where the threads are but the area outside that is a grid of the "sorry" from photobucket. |

Bummer, cuz I like my background and have never changed it. |

I think mmhmm's thread is more informational, but not open for comments. It's pinned at the top everywhere, IIRC.
ETA: If you go into your profile & settings, you can at least change the background to default and get rid of the annoying boxes.

My thread is just an announcement to let you guys know where you can host your avatars without worrying about Photobucket taking it over. |
