I've heard of other people having random image swaps like this on the forums in the past. What browser are you using (and what version)? What operating system? There are a few vBulletin updates we haven't run yet, so it's possible the issue will be addressed with those too.
For the record, I've always used Safari for Mac on this forum and never seen the issue described. I know a lot of people use the Windows version of Firefox, so there might be problems involved there. But yes, information will prove most valuable!
I had my issues in Opera in Windows. It was a minor issue and just needs to have the cache flushed to fix it. (Or just ignore it for a while and the browser would correct itself anyway)
Firefox (I believe the latest version) with Windows XP. It's happened in the past, but this is the longest it's lasted and the avatar is also in the User CP, which hasn't happened before. As log as It's just me, I'm fine. Oh, I also have Hammy's +300 pts sea monster card as an edit button.
I've had brief moments when almost all of the buttons were repaced with random avatars. Right now, my active button is the edit buttoon, and the edit button is hammy's avatar and my avatar is toast.
EDIT:Edit: another picture to follow in my next post instead.
I'm not too concerned about, really. I was just wondering if people were going to think I was stealing Stef's avatar. But I typically clear all of my cached files every week or so, this error occurs even when the page is being loaded like new.
EDIT:
If I may get technical? The fact that this only appears to happen in Firefox would indicate that it's the result of a glitch in the version of gecko (the rendering engine) used by it. Thus the only way to help it, I'm guessing, is to wait for Firefox 3.0 which will use a new version of Gecko (1.9).

That's possible, but I think it's more just a result of oddities with the forum code that don't react well to some rendering engines. I had all these same issues while using Opera which I'm quite certain doesn't use the same rendering engine as any version of firefox.
Although I don't think I've had that issue since the last time I updated Opera.
I have no problems, and I know why. Because Windows, while they have their okay moments, are so bugged that you might as well forget about having stable anything. Now Macs on the other hand like I'm using now have no problems.
ha, you think that's unconstructive? I'll show you unconstructive.
ZOMG I LOVE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, I WISH JT WERE ALL MY BUTTONS, CUASE HE PUSHES ALL MY BUTTONS, AND THEREFORE HE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUSH HIMSELF I AM TEH EXCITED. AND WINDOZE IS TEH SUXxxoRZ.
That was pretty constructive. I think adding JT buttons would solve a lot of forum problems. Also, if we got a doomsday machine, I'd want a JT button for that too.

Obviously you're insane and you just want to be toast. Or Stef. Or somesort of terrible combination. With crumb-spraying powers.
Of doom.
EDIT: "of doom" will forever be translated to "favorable destiny" in my head.

...I'm willing to share my avatar, Behemoth, if your computer wants you to have it so damn badly. TOAST ARMY!
