Hi, all! I ran into this bug a few minutes ago. A moderator replied to the topic with a whisper but their avatar is shown on the homepage. I have seen this issue multiple times and am guessing this is not by design.
Below, is the respective topic and a screenshot of the topic preview. Let me know if I can clarify anything, thanks!
Yup, I can confirm the repro. We’ll take a look.
@codinghorror what is your preferred fix here?
Given our data model the only simple fix is to omit whisper users from the user list unconditionally.
That means if you whisper it will not look like you are the last poster (even to other admins)
A more comprehensive fix here imo is going to be very complicated.
A simple fix sounds fine to me!
hey @lucaviness
Do you still experience that issue? I checked the example topic mentioned by you and avatar is already gone. I tried to replicate it on my instance as well and I couldn’t find a bug.
I think that it is fixed already. I will close this topic, but please let us know if you experience that bug once again.
In the past, I’ve seen the avatar and then after a few days it disappeared. Not sure if that is what you’re seeing or it’s fixed. I’ll keep you updated.
谢谢，@HAWK。今天我看到一个版主将帖子从公开转移到悄悄话时，这个问题又出现了。在论坛主页上，显示他已回复，但我尚未打开，但没有回复可供查看。
您好 @lucaviness。 
我无法重现此错误。
我不知道如何将帖子变成悄悄话，然后我读到：
会不会是该用户发布了一个普通帖子，然后删除了它，并以悄悄话的形式重新创建了消息？
这或许可以解释用户图标的出现，因为他们的普通帖子会显示出来，但如果他们删除了该消息，在刷新之前，他们的头像不会立即从主题列表中消失。我确实能够重现这种效果。 
如果您是相关网站的员工，您或许可以看到发生了什么的日志，我的日志看起来是这样的：
希望这有帮助，并且悄悄话功能运行正常。
