A few days ago, my avatar wasn't appearing. The box where it should have been was there, but instead of displaying my avatar it displayed a small grey box, with 3 or 4 colours in. Then, just yesterday, I came on to GU, and found that an avatar was there, however, it wasn't my avatar. It was a picture of a girl I've never seen before. I only use pictures from my computer for my avatar, and I don't have any pictures remotely like the one in the avatar.
I have since changed it back to my previous avatar, which seems to be staying as it should.

Although, when I popped onto FFU to vote in the latest character battle, the bar at the top displaying a small avatar, was again, a picture of this girl.

I don't understand. Is the problem on your end? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Was it my avatar? I don't see why it shouldn't be showing your avatar looking at the code.

Can you tell me exactly which sites have this happening?

Do you mean which websites I get my avatar from? Because I usually just search Google Images and then save the picture, and use the picture once it is saved onto my computer.

I mean what avatar you were seeing in the place of your avatar. Once before I had accidentally had my avatar hardcoded instead of grabbing the user's avatar and I wasn't for sure if that happened again here.

It was a picture of a girl. Not inappropriate, just her face.

Also, my avatar has gone again, and there's the small grey box with 3 colours inside of it, is back.

Seems like an isolated case, I haven't had any trouble or heard of anything similar before. TocaMair, try not changing your avatar back next time so we can see what you mean. Wink Sounds kinda like when someone else is changing their avatar, it's setting yours somehow to me, but how/whether that's possible I don't know.

Okay. If it happens again, I'll leave it for a while so you can see. But, it seems to have reverted back to my actual avatar, so hopefully, problem solved (Well, not really solved, but, over).
