Avatars changing by themselves?

Anyone else noticed this today....an avatar I had for almost two years got mysteriously switched on it's own.

It's tinypic.com IMO. It's happened on two forums I go on regularly today.

I've gotten reports of this as well.

Did this happen to anyone who does not have their Avatar hosted on Tinypic?

Please let us know.

No but it is clear because I copied a link to a user's avatar and posted it. Over night it changed from a random picture back to a basketball related picture. It seems there were issues with Tiny Pic referencing the wrong images for URLs and it seems fixed.
