Was my avatar unvoluntarily changed?
This is odd...
A couple of weeks ago, I changed my avatar to a small square frame of Carl from the movie poster for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.
It was the same until today, when I came to the forums, and I noticed it's back to my old UHF avatar.
What gives? I didn't change it back. Could someone please explain?

Odd... Seems our very own Admin Miles had an avatar revert as well; his is a Santa hat so it seems to have jumped back a couple months...
Mine is unchanged.
Odd indeed.

Yeah it was probably some sort of server glitch.

It also keeps doing it. I upload a new one, it's there for about 15-20 minutes then reverts back.

Testing.
Untouched.
When did you change from the Christmas to your previous current, CtC?

Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

It went Christmas to Veer for in like the first week of Jan, then Veer to Colbert in late Feb.
I've made two changes since the Holidays.

Re: Was my avatar unvoluntarily changed?
It seemed to coincide with macaddict to maclife transformation? Maybe a server migration glitch?

I'll have our engineers look into this -- thanks for the heads-up.

Re: Was my avatar unvoluntarily changed?
It could have something to do with the file extension: it looks like those of us who are affected have multiple avatars uploaded in different formats, and PunBB is preferring the GIF version.

That makes a bit of sense. when a filename is identical except the extension, .gif is alphabetically before .jpg or .png.

I believe all should be well as of today -- let me know if it isn't.
