I noticed an avatar who is on my timeline that shows as a red box with a question mark on it. When I click it it comes up 404.
What does the question mark represent.
Hugs,
Mysteria

Perhaps that the member has since deleted their account?

I thought deleted accounts fell back to being 'Guest'. Or is there perhaps a period in between where the deleted account can be activated again if the member changes their mind?

It's almost like they get caught in their tracks.

There's nothing wrong with people adding as many stories to their reading list as they want, so I can't see it having anything to do with 'getting caught'.
Perhaps when Gav has a minute spare he will enlighten us.

So this anonymous avatar was historically shown for comments made to stories by non logged in users.
Now its used as a fallback in case an avatar cannot be resolved. So if a member is missing from the avatar collection (which shouldn't normally happen) then this image is shown. This would normally mean we have an orphaned member, a member thats been deleted but its member id has not been cleaned from all the related collections.
