I just logged in today and noticed that my user icon was replaced with this

and my banner was gone, so ok no big deal ill just put it back to the way it was. but then I was on Fuse and I noticed some other users had there avatars replaced as well, I dont know if this is just another glitch but I thought I should point this out.

EDIT: I just tried to put my old image back only for it to say that the image URL is not allowed

Your avatar seems to be ok. Your banner was probably removed because of the new Offsite image rules that went into effect yesterday.

Yeah, my avatar is missing. I haven't had one complaint about my website being a malware site and now I have a funky G that replaced it. It would have been nice to have some warning so we could get our websites Oked prior to the new rules so we didn't lose our avatars or whatnot.

There have been plenty of stickied threads and mentions of the changes on the community blog over recent weeks. These changes were announced 6 weeks ago, so I don't know what more warning you were after.

I don't know, maybe a PM considering I hardly pay much attention to the community blog....

Exactly. There are those of us who do not read the community blog or rarely venture far from OT or a few other forums. A sticked thread in all the forums would have been better. I would have noticed that.

My avatar was defaulted as well.

I read about the offsite link change, but wow it's been a while, completely forgot about it.

I was about to comment on how I have to resize my avatar yet again; but it auto-resizes to 80x80.

Welp, hopefully that's less internet congestion now that links aren't being loaded everywhere.
