Lots of the avatars on comments on my site are missing images. They show as broken links, either 404, 403 or 400 errors. It may not be a big deal, but the fewer broken links the better.
In some cases the broken link is to a Facebook avatar.They look like this:

I can’t begin to troubleshoot these ones.
However, others look to be linked to a Twitter avatar:

In most of these cases I can find my way back to the Twitter account. Most of the so-called broken links are to live Twitter accounts with normal Twitter avatars. That means they should be fixable.
The simple way to fix the broken link is to remove the comment. But that seems overkill. If a broken link shows in a comment email address I can fix that manually from the comment edit screen.
Is there a way to fix broken comment avatars?
