This is a weird techie problem (yeah yeah all together now: PICNIC)
Since my Windows 10 troubles I had to return to Win 7 and recreate my profile on this PC. Most is now OK. But for some reason on this and only this PC the infamous BM avatar will not show as an avatar
I can see every other avatar, I can it on every other PC, I can even copy and paste the link and then post same here and see the infamous blink

but in the avatart area for BM there is just a blank space (free earworm?)
Anyway any theories from the wise ones?
