WTF?

Someone has replaced one of my icons with a random Christmas-themed one.

Is this a hack? Some sort of weird LJ joke?

Anyone know what this is?

I can't fix this until I get home. Gnarr.

One of my icons was replaced by a totally random one a while back, too. I think it's just a bug.

And apparently it's happening to other people too... http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=944327

It's a glitch, it happened to loads of people last week. Nothing to worry about.

I've had this happen to me four times now, and seen it all over my flist. It's just a glitch, no worries.

Yeah, it happened to me as well. Very weird.

Happened to me last month. One of my favorite icons (that thankfully I didn't use often) was replaced by two (admittedly good looking) guys kissing.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...it's just not me nor the icon I chose :)

It's back now.

Maybe LJ is playing with their db.

Bug

It's a bug. It will self-cure in 24 hours.

It's happened to me twice, Savant a few times, and he made the effort to research it one of those times.

My last incident was when this icon, Hamster on the Half-Shell, was replaced by a dark gray-sepia cowboy bust. Yesterday. All better now.

See my first entry today about why LJ may be buggy for a while.
