User's picture turns into Scratch Cat silhouette

I've noticed that there will randomly be glitches where a user's picture becomes a silhouette of the Scratch Cat. Sometimes the user's name will disappear too. I think this is just a small glitch, but it's been happening a lot lately...


God = backwards dog.  Backwards dog = the opposite of dog. 
The opposite of dog = cat.  God = cat.     God is a cat.

Re: User's picture turns into Scratch Cat silhouette

Actually, the new Silhouette is the new 'New Users' picture. You can search in 'Announcements' for more info. I don't know why the user name dissapears, though.

Note how there's a Scratch Cat picture at my reply, but the avatar at the "Gallery owner: Jonathanpb" is correct.

Re: User's picture turns into Scratch Cat silhouette

Interesting bug!  That happened to me the other day as well - I thought it was some sort of glitch caused by the upgrade.  But if you are seeing it too, it may be a real problem.  When did this happen and is it repeatable?

In my case, it was a Reply to a gallery comment.  Is that what everybody else is seeing?  That's what it looks like from Jonathonpb's screenshot above.

Re: User's picture turns into Scratch Cat silhouette

This is a very old glitch! It happened to me months ago! I don't think it had anything to do with the upgrade.

I posted a topic about this somewhere...  smile

Also, is it me, or can I not reply/flag as innapropriate from the messages and notification page sometimes? Or is that an update?

Re: User's picture turns into Scratch Cat silhouette

So that's what you've changed! And a bug is interesting. And curious.
