    Avatars don't show for users with "special" characters in their username

    Hey,

    Just recently the avatars of some users on my forum stopped working. I haven't added any hacks or even edited anything on the forum recently, and this is what some of the users' avatars are showing as:



    And even if they try to change their avatar in the control panel, it won't let them.



    But when I look in the admin panel, I can see their avatar:



    My Profile.

    Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I can fix this? I also tried clearing the cache, but no luck :(

    Thanks

    EDIT: It looks like this problem only occurs to the users who have "special" characters in their username on my forum.
