Lately I have noticed a lot of posts have the black box with a white x in it instead of a picture. It has happened a couple of time with my signature too.
Is something going on I should refer to a Mod.?
No need to notify the moderators.
In 2008, the forum lost all signature pictures. When the technicians corrected the issue with the picture server, the pictures would not show - black box with white x, black box with red x, blue box with white question mark, depending on the browser and OS. To restore a signature pictures members had to upload the picture again. Many did, a number has never done that. In the latter case, you will get one of the "picture not available" boxes. That explains some number of the black boxes with white x's you see.
Let's assume that the signature is properly on the server. The boxes with the x's or ?'s still mean the picture is not available to your browser at that time the page is displayed. There are a number of reasons why that may be. Among those would be the picture server is busy or offline and a slow connection timed out.
