Reading everyones comments lately I've noticed that most don't have an Avatar that is either readable or have just removed it completely...I think that sucks so I thought I would give a step by step process of how to get a new or old avatar back.
1. Go on Google type a phrase that will give you the avatar you are after then click google search.
2. Click on Images.
3. Select the Image you are after then click 'View Image'.
4. Right click directly on the image an click on 'Save Image' then name the pic and remember where you are saving it.
5. Go to http://resizepic.com
6. Click on 'Choose File' and find and select the pic you saved earlier and select it.
7. Click on 'Width' and select no larger than 75 and do the same for your 'Height' then click 'Resize Image'.
8. Your Avatar should be above your Image Resizer with the new pixel dimensions, right click on the Avatar and select 'Copy Image Address'.
9. Go back to http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?action=profile;area=forumprofile;u=58241 and where it says in the 'Personalized Picture' menu 'Specify avatar by URL' select the option and right click and paste in the Specify your own avatar by URL bar.
10. Then go down to 'Change Profile' and click the button and you're done!
Any questions don't be afraid to reply to the post or PM me

I'm sorry I have just realized that the site wipes the link after a period of time, thus making the process redundant.
I have tried simply uploading the saved image but for some reason the forum rejects it, perhaps there is a internal issue because there is no logical reason for the problem.

Well, thanks for the effort.
Did Bob Day leave CB?

TP for showing us how to do this. I've missed the avatars. And if it wipes it away after a while, oh well—I'll just add it again. ;D

It works! It works! It works!
Praise be to the Lord. I'll shower you in TPs SBBF!

After resizing it, save the image again then upload it to photobucket and create an url from there? I bet that would work.
-
Think this worked, the resizing process made the image super pixilated though.
Edit: Lol nope never mind. I tried uploading through imgur and it did not work.
-
Hahaaaa great success!
Ok here's what ya gotta do... *Note I did all this on my phone.*
-Follow the good man SBBF's instructions on resizing the image. I set mine to 75 height and 75 width.
-Download/save the resized image to your device
-Go to imgur.com it's safe and reliable. It's Reddit's image hosting site.
-Make a free account and upload your image. *Note on my phone I had to Download and use the app to upload the image.*
-Open the image in a new tab and the url at the top of the screen should read something like this... https://i.imgur.com/MN0GMTy.jpg
-Now here is the trick.... When uploading the image to your forum profile you need to type the URL as "http" not "https" my final address looked like.... http://i.imgur.com/MN0GMTy.jpg
-
Yeah, I don't think so...
I stand slightly corrected
-
It worked for me, thanks! Did it yesterday, waited to see if it lasted, still there today!
-
Got it to work between the two posts. thanks!

TP that last trick is the thing I have been missing, thank you for that!
Hopefully we see more and more Avatar's returning to the blog.

Very nice. Just for the record at step 10, I don't think you have to make an account. At least I was able to upload the pic without having signed in.

If you want to use a site that definitely doesn't require an account, you can use tinypic.com. Same steps and you can just copy and paste the http address after you upload the image.

Using the posted instructions, I think I got my old Johnny Most avatar back! This is a personal photo of Johnny, no one else has this one. Need post immediately to be sure. EDIT: Got it!

Is there some sort of issue where some avatars only show up for the user, but not for everyone else? It seems like it's happened a couple of times now in this thread

For me, all of the avatars show on PC, but on mobile sometimes there are just empty white boxes

At the moment (on my phone) no, but I can’t see my own either. Not sure what’s wrong

That's weird, because I'm on mobile and can see yours...

I have tried the instructions to the letter. I used 75 x 75 and 65 x 65. I still don't see my avatar.

I followed the instructions in the very first post and my avatar appeared but disappeared soon. I then followed the second set of instructions and it seems to have worked. Try following these instructions if you have not yet:
1. Go on Google type a phrase that will give you the avatar you are after then click google search.
2. Click on Images.
3. Select the Image you are after then click 'View Image'.
4. Right click directly on the image an click on 'Save Image' then name the pic and remember where you are saving it.

It looks like the missing avatar URLs are using links to the page, not the image.

Why is an avatar so dammed complicated? >:(

Why is an avatar so dammed complicated? >:(
its the image size issue mostly and the detail quality.. I just found a free site with READY sized avatars ...the cartoon type i guess use less space and shrink better .
Mine worked first time from the ready to use avatar site. I could not get anything on my computer to work from my own picture files. That reduction program is PITA.
I figured one of the funky little cartoons was better than nothing. Maybe i ll change it if i see a better one.

New clue: I don't see my avatar on the iPad (in fact, most folks' avatars are gone, replaced by a box) but it is still showing up on my Windows laptop. I haven't checked my phone yet.
