I was just wondering what happened to the sigs and avatars that have gone missing

Well if its hosted on photobucket that is most likely why. Photobucket seems to be having issues, so I switched over to my deviantart.com profile instead. I kept uploading images on photobucket.com and it kept telling me the link the wrong. So I went back to the image to view it on their website and it wouldn't even load the image just sat there 2-3mins and still wouldn't load it. So they must be having hosting issues.

I got ahold of Silentwolf and he explained to me what is probably going on

Soooooo.......

What did he explain to you. Mine appear to fine on photobucket

photobucket is having performance issues some show up and others dont

Photobucket has been performing updates to their storage, including software and hardware changes.  During the process, the missing images were still available but the paths were temporarily disrupted.  It appears they are complete with their efforts and we shouldnt see anymore issues.

This is a good reminder to all members.  The Graphics team does their best to supply images for our BK family, but I urge all member to save a copy of their sigs and avatars to their on PC.  Just in case something happens, you will be able to restore the image yourself.
