Avatars and emoticons are in order for me.

The whole forum took a back to basics look when I opened it up earlier. Looked like basic computer code, no colour, no boxes, no avatars, nothing. Refreshed to page and I got the site back except black boxes instead of avatars. I've just wiped all tinterweb history, cookies and everything and it's back to normal.
What on earth is going on?

I suspect that the webhosts have done something with the way images are being cached in order to stop all the errors and outages.  We/they are working on sorting things out properly and permanently but it is not straightforward.

If you clear your cache (maybe several times), and right click on images and view them (or however your browser does this), then refresh them (maybe several times), you can sometimes sort them out - but it's a hassle and won't always work.

You will almost certainly find that it is OK most of the time, and only wrong sometimes.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
