Has anyone else noticed this?

On occasion a user's avi. will be blank and their name replaced with a question mark?

Or am I the only one?

    I have not noticed the avatar go BLANK, but I hsave noticed it goes to the old grey smily face they used to start you off with before the Exclamation point.

    Even when sending e-mails, the screen name will sometimes be shown as a Question mark.

    Apparently, the Avatars and screen names are stored in a separate database that the program has occasional trouble accessing.

    I see it all the time now. Even in emails, when I first open it, it has a ? and I don't see who it actually is till I go to respond.
