I refreshed my page a while ago and saw that my username in the top right was belonged to someone else, and the profile picture was wrong. I checked my profile and everything seemed fine but the drop-down in the top right still had the other user and pfp. When I appended their user ID to the URL bar, I found their profile and it had the pfp that was showing on my end.
I posted and it worked fine, my user was attached. Just a weird visual glitch? Saying it for the sake of saying it :p
we know what this is and as far as we can tell it’s harmless. it’s a bug we ran into earlier (along with some of our volunteer sysops), and it’s been happening for awhile–since before the big influx, even. we may or may not be able to fix it depending on what’s causing it, but it’s in the backlog of stuff to do for certain
