No, Capital Kiwi has changed where he had the avatar stored from the awad repository to his own. What you are seeing now is what reality is today. What you cannot see is the fact that Cap had the second avatar stored here, but he went in and moved it.

If you look at an avatar, stored on the board: say, the Padre's. It has a URL of http://wordsmith.org/board/images/avatars/1349.jpg ... It just so happens that his membership / user number is 1349. Anybody who chooses his Paul Scofield photo is just pointing at the same file, and if he changes the picture file, it is stored in the same place, instantly changing for anybody else who may have used it.

[Addendum: Look at an avatar of AnnaStrophic, who has changed her avatar a couple of times. Her woodpecker icon is stored under her user id: 176.]
