pretty good, thanks for asking. You inquired how your avatar got changed to one you didn't like and I gave an answer (blind chance); you also inquired why it differed from the one on your profile page, and I pointed to the explanation Chuck had already given.
Why can't you just accept what the Ed says, that the problem is with Gravatar. Your avatar isn't stored on AB it is stored on Gravatar and linked through to here.......obviously they are having problems.
So every time I post into AB it has to be given an Avatar by Gravatar. Is that what is being suggested.? Why then does my Profile remain constant unless I alter it.?
I did, Ron, straight after Chuck's answer, I think. (I can't go back and check without losing what I'm writing now.) But basically it was yes, Gravatar have set up a big avatar for profile pages and a smaller one for thread pages, and the two don't always operate in tandem, though of course they should. Not everyone's profile avatar remains constant; some change, without their thread page avatars changing at all. Just chance, that's all.
I'm glad you said it B00, it's been praying on my mind :D
Naomi, have you changed your email and password to protect yourself? Dread to think you've been hacked somehow, as I remember you were most offended by the avatar. I have not seen the avatar in queestion tho.
Alba, No, I haven't changed anything. I can understand it happening if the rogue avatar is on a Gravatar account, but that one isn't on mine and never has been. As I said, I'd never seen it before. It's a complete mystery to me.

This appears to the be the main issue! You'll have to trust us, or work it out! I suggest giving up posting about the issue until you've settled on one of these options!
