Hi I just updated to the newest version (v1.4.0.beta12 +55) and the profile menu disappeared. As well as the list of users participating in a topic. ---

What exactly are you referring to? Everything is here, there is nothing missing. ---

the little profile menu besides the hamburger menu and search. This is what my page looks like after the latest update. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/e/8e6bd410a8a1a21903fb2d26d5aa04d4c4845204.png) ---

Looks like you have broken avatar images ---

Do you have any third party (not from Discourse) plugins? If so, disable them… ---

Only the one that was installed by default: lazyYT, poll and docker\_manager? ---

Perhaps a problem with our [avatars.discourse.org](http://avatars.discourse.org) service? Turn that off in site settings and see if it helps. Search for “avatars” in site settings. ---

That did the trick! Thank you very much. ---

Can you enable it again for a sec and paste a URL here of the broken image? ---

All right when I turn external avatars on the profile menu doesn’t work. When it’s off it does. The external link is: ``` https://avatars.discourse.org/letter/{first_letter}/{color}/{size}.png ``` ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/8/b8178bfb182f605e241d5b725de4a00ffaf6282c.png) ---

That’s the URL template. Could you give us an URL of an avatar that isn’t working when you enable external avatars? ---

This avatar is not showing on the profile page, but you can load it by the link directly: ``` https://avatars.discourse.org/letter/h/bcef8e/120.png ``` ---

Maybe it’s a cache issue. Have you tried clearing your browser’s cache? ---

Or your network or firewall (either on your machine, or on your server) are preventing you from loading the images. Still, the image should show a placeholder there in the upper right since the HTML specifies image size… `` ---

It doesn’t make any difference to clear cache. ---

There isn’t any place older. It is just not there. I’m using Digital Ocean could the firewall be preventing the image to load? ---

Maybe some kind of browser extension (e.g. adblocker) is removing it? If you are using any of those, try disabling them or try using a different browser. ---

> [@gerhard](#): > > Maybe some kind of browser extension (e.g. adblocker) That’s exactly what happened. The issue was due to the Privacy Badger extension @HerrHoltz had installed on Firefox. ---
