Not sure where to ask about this, since it's not a bug per se. I don't have avatars disabled, but all the images appear as broken. This is across browsers and only with tvtropes. Obviously it's something I'm doing, but I've no clue what and am hoping to get suggestions. Have tried deleting cookies and logging out, nothing has worked so far. It's been this way for a long while.

If there is a more appropriate place to put this, I've missed it.

Check that your browser is able to access static.tvtropes.org.

With that hint, I found the culprit: an expired vipre trial that I tried months ago. Despite my not spending money on it, it apparently hung around and did nothing for me but... block avatars specifically on this site. Have uninstalled it and am seeing avatars for the first time in forever, on all the browsers. Thank you for your help.

OK, closing this then.
