No, if i click on your profile here or on steam it shows your avatar picture, the white boxes are only on the forum itself.

At first i thought it was just an user that choosed white on purpose, but then i saw it happened with more people.

The problem is quite strange and seems to come from the site itself since you are not the only one concerned.
I assume you tried to delete the cache?

I don't think this is the problem as he already tried a different browser.
I would suggest trying a different network, let's say mobile, if it's available.

I got like 1 euro left on my prepaid mobile i barely use (which is handy not being bothered by it all day) :P

But it seemingly also happens to other people, then it seems to be more a site issue?

I've encountered different (missing word, which I can't think of, maybe responses?, site-loadings?) site appearances from different networks in the past (some provider issues). This time it may be a Steam issue, as another member mentioned below, or any change to the site, as was done with the 10-year suspension. Probably the first.

You forgot the # kidding. :p

But weirdly enough for me Stpaul's icon is showing up for me, which makes it more random, mind it was another (older) thread, as i couldn't find yours, maybe it only happens in new discussions?

I'm bad in making jokes. Really bad. And still trying all the time :)

I also see white avatars in giveaways section. Thought that is on my side problem with internet or browser or something else :)

Maybe https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Jokes/dp/1592575382 ? :p (not that you are an idiot, i was looking for a for dummies book, but apparently that does not exist).

Seems it's site related then.

ChibiRobo's picture is not loading for me. I'm using one of the dark modes, so it's not white but ~graphite grey for me. On their profile it's AOK

Yeah, his is showing for me (using a white background). Seems to be totally random people for people.

There was an issue some time ago with Steam storing avatars on side-CDNs.
AuthenticationFailed (Microsoft) and ExpiredToken (Google) errors.
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/3279194170694972018/
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/3183487594836182080/

I was affected too. My old\current picture was broken, no matter how many times i reuploaded it.
Sometimes it was only 1 or 2 out of 3 different-sized variants.
Only slightly different (and bigger in my cause) picture worked.
Until one day i was able to upload old one without issues.

I guess users with white avatars affected on Steam too, not only on SG.
I was seeing this for quite some time both here and in Steam.
Quite rare in Steam now, but still often on SG.
It's just somewhat random, as there's around 5 different CDNs now.

So i suggest to re-upload their avatar to fix this.
Though it may get worse - do it at your own risk.

I don't have any problems now, but I had the same thing happen in the past (I think it was around 2 or 3 weeks ago). I think Steam sites were also loading really slow or unresponsive for me at that time, but all other websites were fine. I just figured SG was pulling that info from Steam and since Steam was having an issue at the time, it was causing the stuff here to not load.

I think when it happened to me, some of the game pictures for giveaways were also missing.

weird.. i didn't notice anything at all until i scrolled to the bottom here and the last two commenter's photos (alltracturbo and skyups) are not showing. you have spread the curse to me.

alltracturbo's sg profile shows the photo though, and both steam profiles show them.

perhaps some backend communications hiccup?

As I'm using dark mode I see the occasional black square.

That seems to be the reverse of what people get with a white background, a white square.
