I'm guessing it's because the new hdd "blew up" so the saved avatars are gone again.
or something like that. =\
Actually, the new HDD blew up AND THEN somehow while FDC was fixing it (taking three days to install the OS? Come the fuck on) another drive containing a lot of the user data was partially corrupted. So we ended up losing a crapton of avatars. Needless to say, we've migrated everything over to a new host and are running everything on RAID-1 (and will have a warm failover once I sort some hardware issues out).
Just fixed the display issue by NULL'ing all the ones that we don't currently have files for in the database, looking into pulling those from backups. I don't remember if I took backups of the user avatars :|
