What's going on? I saw Atrocities changed his avatar to an animated skull... but then in another thread there's the original avatar... checked the member numbers, and sure enough, they're different - 822 and 823! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

The universe is full of mysteries...

OT : you should use more standard geek codes to make it work properly in the decoder :
Se++++* (doesn't work) -> Se++++/Se*(works)

All the recent threads show # 873. I went back to the 'other X's' thread, which had his old avatar (under # 873) and posted a reply. Sure enough, the updated thread had the new animated avatar.

So I guess a thread only updates its avatars when a new reply is posted.

Members 872, 822 & 823 are other people. They must have run a patch on the SEIV Matrix. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

With the number of shipsets the guy pumps out it wouldn't suprise me a bit if there were two of him running around here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The same happened to me when I changed my avatar.
It seems that it's not changed anywhere as it used to be.

I think there is only one Atrocities, but given all the copy cats out there, one never really knows.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It all has to do with server and browser Caches. The avatars update on their own in old threads given a bit of time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

There is only one Atrocities, but he can create temporary clones of himself at will! That's how he can make so many great shipsets, parallel processing! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Another mystery of the universe solved. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And yes, my clone does bite so be warned. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
