I don't know if this affects anyone else, but without me making any changes myself, my avatar has broken. Turns out I've been using an off-site one for years and, looking the code, it seems to have mysteriously lost the "http" so it is trying to load the image as
Code:
<img src="//images.thenexxus.org/gallery/albums/sos/sos041.jpg" alt="" border="0">


Obviously I can fix this, but not knowing what has changed and what else might have broken as well, I thought I had best report it.

--edit--

I'd left the inspection panel open and I can see the following, so other things are affected:

Code:
<script async="" type="text/javascript" src="//s.skimresources.com/js/31679X892729.skimlinks.js"></script>

Code:
<noscript>&lt;img src="//b.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=2&amp;amp;c2=6036161&amp;amp;cv=2.0&amp;amp;cj=1"&gt;</noscript>

A url like that is called a protocol-relative url, and it's usually something intentional but in the case of your avatar it seems otherwise.

Unfortunately images.thenexxus.org doesn't respond over ssl, so the protocol relative url isn't working.

//images.thenexxus.org/gallery/albums/sos/sos041.jpg:


But I'm not seing a protocol relative url for Shiroi Hane's avatar. I see the avatar fine, it's being loaded from http://images.thenexxus.org/gallery/albums/sos/sos041.jpg So it's strange that Shiroi Hane is getting a protocol relative url.

Huh. If nothing's broken I'd just upload a copy instead, but it is working again now anyway. May have been something weird going on with the proxy server at work or something.

Actually it was due to Ezoic, a new ad service we're trying out. I reported it to them and they fixed it real fast.
