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?

right now it's some strange woman wearing glasses

Hehe, sorry Kathy. I didn't think were ever my avatar stand in because I would have recognized you. But if so, I didn't mean YOU were a strange woman, just that it was a stranger taking my place.

Hey everyone, Can you all please confirm that this ONLY happens when using a mobile device (your phone or iPad) while viewing the site through the browser (not in the app)?

Yes, this only happens on my iPad while on the website, not the app. I prefer the full website because you can see tickers, profiles, etc that you can't see on the app.

But I did download the app and started using It though, because the other thing the full site does is cause Safari to freeze. When I'm typing a reply, it becomes very slow, what appears on the screen is delayed and it often freezes up completely and I have to shut down safari. And of course I lose all of my text. It only happens when I do a direct "reply to this topic" It doesn't happen when I'm editing a post or if I choose More Reply Options and type there. (Like I'm doing now)

I thought it was an IOS or Safari issue and spent many hours on the phone with Apple. I even reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled the operating system and all apps. Still didn't fix it. And BP is the only site that makes safari freeze. No other websites or apps makes the iPad freeze. Just FYI.

@@Kindle Thanks for the reply :-) I'll be looking into this further and once I apply some changes, I'll update the thread here for additional feedback.

One additional thing - I'm assuming you're logged in when this is happening, correct? If so, can you please attempt to logout to see if the issue remains while NOT logged in?

Additional Info

But I can't post a reply if I'm not logged in.

@@Kindle Yes, but you can see if the avatars are fixed while logged out - and then log back in to reply

Ok, so I did what you suggested, and the image problems are the same whether I'm logged in or not. But for this experiment, it wasn't my avatar that was wrong, it was Blerdgirl's. The "Big book" image was showing as her avatar. And then just a few posts down, her actual avatar was showing up in random spots within proudgrammy's post. I logged out and it was the same. Logged back in, still the same.

As soon as I posted that last reply, the big book image became my avatar. Same when I logged out and then logged back in.
