Double double avatar avatar

I noticed a few weeks ago that my avatar seems to often come up twice. It seemed to be only me, but then I saw that Silverdak's avatar was doing the same. That freaked me out because that guy (?) has been here as long as me and NEVER ONCE posted anything at any time. Now I'm seeing other folks avatars coming up twice.
@TheCigarChick , Lindsay, hate to bug you with these things, but, do the folks who generate the forum have any idea what's going on with this? It's never happened before, and I'm a suspicious superstitious old curmudgeon with trust issues about weird things that happen online.
Or, perhaps some of our computer-savvy members may know?

I've seen this and was wondering if the double avatars was because I was on the site with both my computer and my phone at the same time.
It only happens to me when I drink to much......Closing one eye helps.
Maybe, I've tried signing out on the phone to see if that helped, but it didn't.
I got a WTF on the OP? Curiouser and curiouser..

I have seen double avatars displayed too, and wondered why.
But where? I'm assuming you mean in the "who's online" display that I see down in the column on the right on screen.
I'm thinking that it may just be when I'm on a thread. Perhaps the program protocol is recognizing that I'm on this thread, in the General Discussion category, and lists both.
Don't know. It just never did it before.
I also like for all my money to be facing the same way in my wallet, with all the bills in order from back to front, 5's with 5's, 1's with 1's etc. And, I still roll socks, t-shirts and underwear like we did in basic training.
Persnickety OCD tendencies!

I tend to face my bills.
Oh no! I just looked and I had double avatars! Egads!
So I tried to log off and see if that's fix it. But it said 'You don't have permission to do that'. LOL. Then I saw an unread message in my inbox, read that, and the double is gone.
We'll see.

Double @Vision. No mater which angle you look at it from, it stares back at you.
I’m watch you.......
Honestly, not sure, but I'm wondering if it has to do with the updated made by the company who technically hosts the Forum from a server perspective. They were doing some adjusts and upgrades at their hub, and something could've gone amusingly haywire.
For the sake of full transparency, I also just bit into an Eggo waffle which was wildly under-toasted, so I may not be at peak genius today.
