Why do all product reviews show the same avatar?

First Post
I've noticed that all the product reviews I've checked out in the last couple days (around 6) show the same avatar for all the reviewers (a freaky-looking silver headed guy). This can't be intentional, can it?

Also, I remember that the reviews used to show a small picture of the cover of the product (off to the right). I noticed that the pictures are also missing from the reviews. I hope this isn't intentional. Sometimes it's hard to remember the title of a product you were interested in, but if you've seen a picture of it, you can remember it much more easily when you see it at your FLGS. Please bring back the product pix!

The silvery guy is the Message Board Golem, a construct that shoveled the old reviews over to the new system. Only those reviews where it could not find the same name in the member list should have that avatar, as far as I understand.

I have no insight about where the cover pictures went, though.
 

Back in January there was an assulat of the reviews section. A gnome army broke through the peremiter and stole all the product pictures. The carnage was horrible, reviews were shot up and left bloddy all over the place. The gnomes have since by quiet but I see a picture or two appear on the black market as they slowly sale of their ill gotten gains.

Or when the review site crashed horribly in January the pictures were a causalty and that particular part of the review site has noit been fixed as more important areas have taken presedance.

:D

So, what's the story behind your custom title? :)

The avatar pic is a character called Brock Samson, from "The Venture Brothers". It runs on the Cartoon Network during Adult Swim. Brock is Dr. Venture's bodyguard. One of the bad guys is planning on doing something bad to Dr. Venture and then says something like, "...but if I try to do that, I'll have to deal with that Swedish murder machine that's always with him." Seeing a fight scene with Brock demonstrates how the name is appropriate to him.

Me, on the other hand, I'm a lover, not a fighter. :cool:

Thanks! Being from Sweden myself, it's always amusing to hear these kinds of things. :)
