I’m getting one of those “image not available” type of images where someone posted the winking smiley. Anyone else experiencing it? 😉 (example) ---

It loads fine for me. Clear your browser cache. ---

Nope – it works for like, two seconds, then I get the “image not available”. WTF? ---

Nah, that one link in the script got broked. I’m sure that as soon as the folk(s) who wrote the script find out it’s happened it’ll get fixed. CMC fnord! ---

I’m sure that as soon as the folk(s) who wrote the script find out it’s happened it’ll get fixed. Well I’m going to have to consult with my IT guy, Jerrold. This is a big job and he’s not sure it’s worth the time investment for such a small feature. Aww what the hell. Here you go. The SDMB Avatar script has been updated to fix a broken link in the feature to use the old board smilies. For Firefox and Greasemonkey, the updated script is available here. > **[SDMB Avatars](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/2027-sdmb-avatars)** > > Display and view avatars on the SDMB For Chrome users affected by Google’s recent embargo on non App Store scripts, the updated script is available here as an unpacked Chrome extension. [http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file\_id=09189679534215574328](http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=09189679534215574328) For instructions to install the Chrome version as an unpacked extension, [see this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17458907&postcount=249).
