Ever since a few days ago the way that this forum has been displaying for me has changed. In the past I would see an avatar for each poster in a topic … either a picture that they have uploaded, or an initial based on their user name. This no longer happens when there is no profile pic … is this just me or something new??? If it is something new, is there any way of going back to the way that it was?
For reference the Let’s Encrypt forum displays just fine: https://community.letsencrypt.org
There was a problem with the discourse Avatars API
I messaged @JoshData the same day requesting to restart the container hosting the forum to fix the issue but seems like the requested went unanswered.
Here is relevant discussion on Discourse meta
Ahh, gotcha! Thanks for the explanation. 
Just FYI, only system Generated avatars were affected.
So You probably would be able to see my bitmoji avatar but I can’t see Your A
maybe just upload a picture.
Sorry it took me so long to get to this. I’ve restarted the Docker container that runs the forum and that seems to have taken care of it.
Thank you! Looks much more like home now.
