Y!A icon doesn't show when signed in?
When I'm signed in to Y!A, my icon/avatar doesn't show. It's the plain gray silhouette of a person indicating that no icon was ever assigned for my account (which I did). If I'm signed in with a different account or not logged in at all and am looking at a question or answer I wrote, my icon shows just fine. I know it's set on my account because I can see the tiny version of it in the upper right corner next to my name. What gives?

There is a glitch with the avatars not showing up. Its something they have to fix.

Avatars and names have been coming and going all week.
Yours is showing here now but not on your homepage. There are as well ongoing problems with the avatars and there is no indication they will be fixed. They have also changed the names we can have to just letters, no ! or * allowed and no special letters.
They removed them from a lot of users.
