Missing user Avatars

Has anyone else noticed some user avatars disappearing? On some I just see "User Avatar" which implies they have one set, but it is not rendering.

Hey, JRinFL:
When I've seen this issue it's on users that haven't been active in a long time. When we moved the forum from VBulletin to phpBB, some users had to reselect their avatar. Once they reselected it, all was well. If you see this on someone who is active, it either doesn't bother them or I guess they haven't noticed. If they reselect their avatar in their User Profile, it should repopulate.

I hope this helps.

I figured out that it is related to forcing HTTPS connections on my browsers. The images are linked to HTTP pages and as such will not display if you force HTTPS.
