Another effect of the separate user databases. The system is looking for user ID number and getting confused.

For example, you are one of the active admins, so the system pulls your user ID number on Uncyc and then tells the page to display the avatar for that ID. But the page pulls from the wrong database, so displays the avatar for the Wikia-global account with the same user ID number in that database (which happens to be HackerAce). So it's HackerAce who gets shown on the page.

My user ID has already been fixed to be the same on both databases. So when it draws from the wrong database it still gets me.

Once we've finished the database merge, there will only be the one database, with duplicate ID numbers all resolved. So it will only have one user with that ID number, and will show the correct avatar.

I hope that made sense :)
