Changing avatars?

What's up with my avatar randomly changing one or more times a day? This has been happening over the last week. Sometimes it's actually my profile picture, but right now it's some strange woman wearing glasses. It's been 5 different things that I know of, including cartoon characters. WTF?

Going to research this in the AM, thanks!

I had this happen too, she was one of the magazine contributors- short blonde hair? Cute so I didn't mind! :)

No. It was an iPad. It only happened during the course of one day. Sorry I did not report it at the time, in retrospect, it would have been much simpler to correct while it occurred . I just found it amusing at the time. :)

Ok, so this morning I am an African Amercan woman with glasses and a bluish v-neck shirt. I'm having a serious identity crisis here ;)

Now my avatar is back to normal, but there is a tiny image of a lap band book inserted at the end of my last post.

My avatar is correct right now, but earlier today, JJinWA's avatar with the yellow and purple flowers was displayed as my avatar. Is this some kind of matching game?! ;)

This morning my avatar is a yellow smiley face. And last night, Alex, your face was showing up as lady1000's avatar and jjinWA's flowers were your avatar. It IS a fun matching game!

Our admin (Ken) has been out sick with the Flu this entire week. He's going to get on this as soon as he's feeling better.
