I ran into an odd bug. I opened up my full notification window, and saw a post in the Luna Engine boards. It had Shaz's avatar next to it, but it was not Shaz who made the thread. Entirely different person. Different avatar, too. How strange...

The notification lists the person who made the last post, not the one who posted first and created the topic.


And sometimes people post shortly one after another, so that between the time you received the notification and the time you got the topic loaded someone else might have been posted - even if it's just a second of time difference.

Yes, it shows the name of the person who created the topic with the avatar of the person who last replied. It's kinda weird.

It might also be that the mod is shown for publicing the thread (since they are the ones that approve the post in the first place). Since Shaz is a mod Im pretty sure that her avatar came up in the notification since she was the one approving the topic. 

But since it was the Luna engine, It might have not been the case. Just wanted to point that out though since it can be a bit confusing as well :)

Didn't even see Shaz in the thread at all.

nope, I don't approve threads in the Luna boards. Can you do a screenshot of the page you're talking about?

Since the other avatars look correct in that picture, it might simple be that that user temporarily used Shaz' avatar picture and changed it since then. If that were a forum bug, other members would have wrong pictures as well.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
