+H2"O" Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 This started happening to me recently and it's got me confused. Sometimes, when I open a cache page, my avatar will appear at the head of someone else's log where theirs should be. Even more recently, it sometimes appears in place of the picture in the cache page description. I'm not sure if it's something to look into my computer about, or the GC website, but it's a little spooky. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yes! See here: "Moving avatars - a strange, recent phenomenon." It may be slightly contagious. ATM, no known cure other than to refresh the page. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+TomToad Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Never noticed it myself. Must be the Halloween Avatar ghosts moving things around. Edit:Of course, now I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Edited October 30, 2011 by TomToad Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The lackeys won't admit it, but they have been bothered by some folks doing avatar theft lately. I hear they have Snoogans on the job. Quote Link to comment
+Brooklyn51 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) It happens all the time on one of our laptops, but not on the other. Could it be an XP vs Vista problem? The Vista machine always gets it right - the little ebook running XP has the ghost avatars show up all the time until it is refreshed or shutdown and reopened. Sometimes the ghost avatar is ours, sometimes it is that of another cacher (but it shows up on the cache page of yet another.) It's really weird. (Might add: it hasn't happened on our android yet.)

+H2"O" Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks everyone, it's nice to know that we're not alone. It's not really that bothersome, I was just concerned that my computer might be whacking out. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yes, it has been happening for several days. Also, not just my avatar, but others as well; e.g. suddenly two of my friends show the same avatar. Quote Link to comment
+AlohaBra and MaksMom Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sounds like a browser problem...I am using Windows7 with Firefox right now. No such problems. Quote Link to comment
