I use desktop. I have noticed that some members who used to sport avatars seem to no longer use them? I wasn't sure if ditching avatars was the new
fad or if something else was wrong.
I had some similar problems a few years ago with adware blocking apps, one of the filters looked at image size and would block loading of anything
matching... so just in case you might want to check any plugins etc
The problem seems to be that those buttons are like toggle buttons, if they say "Hide" and you click on it then it hides, if it says "Show" then when
clicking it will show the avatars
It doesn't represent the current setting but the setting that will be applied if you click on it. It it says hide it means you are alerady showing the
avatars, if it says show it means you are currently hiding them
