Description
A similar (now closed) report about disappearing avatars is covered in http://drupal.org/node/239918
Two days ago I added 15 or so different avatars for people to choose from if they don't have the technical knowhow to upload their own. Today, two of the avatars have disappeared. I noticed by checking the recent log entries in the Drupal administration menu.
I haven't been able to figure out exactly how and when the images have disappeared, but I'm hoping the problem is related to the previous bug report, thus easy(ish) to find and fix.

What are your avatar selection module settings at admin/settings/avatar_selection? It may be that you have the 'unique avatars' option enabled. If so, it means that if a user selects an avatar from the list, it will no longer appear in the list and won't be available to other users. If this isn't the case, then please try the latest dev release of the module as it may already be fixed there. I can't reproduce it at the moment, so any more info you can provide would be great.
Cheers,
Stella

Sorry for the belated reply.
I do not use the unique avatar option. In fact none of the checkboxes are marked in the Configure tab.
Apparently another 2 avatars have just disappeared from my avatar selector. The files themselves, however, are still in the /sites/default/files/avatar_selection folder.
Is there any risk by using the dev version. I'd hate to break something completely on the site.

There's no risk with the dev version. It's in a ready-to-release status. This is the last open ticket :)
You mentioned you noticed the issue by checking the logs - can you tell me what error message in the log informed you of the problem?
What sort of user roles do you have configured? I mean in relation to avatars - you can assign roles to avatars, so only certain avatars are available to specific roles. Could it be that the images are no longer available in the selector because the user has the wrong role?

6.x-1.6 has been released, so please try it to see if it fixes the problem.

I will test it .. Just popped on to check if there has been any progress.
as far as logs go, they simply state "file not found" even though they're still in the folder
two roles .. me and everybody else .. all avatars are available to all roles.
but now .. some sleep, then test :)

Everything _seems_ to be working as it should. At least I haven't seen any more avatars disappearing, so I think we can close this one.
Thanks for all the hard work.
