Can you see my avatar? [View all]

I use a custom, uploaded gif of a humpback whale on a white background.

I've never had a problem. Recently I needed to reformat and re-install Win 10. Since then I see a 'broken link' message until I go thru the motions of re-upping the icon. Sometimes the avatar shows for me after that, sometimes not.

-I'm using Mullvad VPN, but I did that before the reformat. Maybe DU doesn't recognise it's proxies.
-Browser - Waterfox with several simple add-ons, all OK in the past.

So before I bother EarlG and Elad, it would be helpful to know if this was unique to me or applies to everyone.

Thanks folks
