Hmmm I didnt think to ask him that. has anybody else taken a look at
www.pandorsbox.com forum and seen a red cross where Jolenes avatar should be?
If you see it too I have nothing to worry about I guess, but the last time this happened it was quickly followed by no sites opening properly at all and a wasted day talking to an NTL Indian call centre trying to sort it out, hence the proxy server. At least I think it was Indian.
Like I said, it isnt the avatar I'm worried about, it's the possibility of there being a bigger problem.
