Picture on a forum post but nothing in the profile?

An Eps member with no reviews posted a comment in the forums and all looks normal, complete with a picture of the member on the left. Yet, when I went to this member's profile page, no picture shows on his profile page. What gives? Where is the picture coming from if it is not on his profile page? Is this a bug? Or is it because this member has no reviews? Or is it something strange?

E-mail me for the link to the forum post if you really need it, since I'd rather not give the URL here.

I thought at one time that user-pics on user-pages and elsewhere on the site came from different sources/servers.

Checking just now I see that several category pages display different pics from the user's user-page pic.


I also noticed that some 'featured user' pics were not displaying correctly. For example this one.


Thats all I got...

That one looks like the picture hosting site no longer has the picture or there's some other problem at the host. The picture I refer to in my post above is still apparently hosted, because it displays in the forums. It just doesn't show on the member's profile page. Just a little oddity...

...
But the image I linked above is an Eps server page, no..??

http://img.epinions.com/images/newworld/1113/userdivad231-resized100.jpg

I do not remember the 'newworld' directory in previous eps-hosted images I have seen.

Of course, my 'yosemite' has this URL:

http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/2c/6a/user-sleeper54-resized100.jpg

Yet again another directory . . .so who knows...



...tom...

P.S. 'Your' user-image. Are you saying it is the identical URL displaying in one place but not the other..?? Send me the URL when you get a chance, just so I can see what it looks like to me, OK..??
