I’m not sure if this is _quite_ a bug, or just some behaviour that I don’t quite get, but it appears that quoting someone in a post stores their avatar at that point in time with the quote. Like here:
It seems like this might be a regression of this thing:

Not a bug; it’s always been that way.

I suppose its because the posts are baked with the URL at the time. Do you want a fix for this, or is it too potentially resource intensive to trigger a rebake each time someone changes their avatar?

[Changing the avatar already triggers a rebake](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/15f657309a9b457ff315482da2fe8fbbed9caa02/app/models/user.rb#L944-L945) of posts containing quotes, but it’s currently quite resource intensive to find and rebake all posts. So, it’s possible that some of them won’t be updated. Post revisions aren’t updated at all.
I have plans to fix all of this when I’m working on improvements for user renaming/anonymizing in one of the next releases. It will require a new table that keeps track of all the places where a user is quoted, mentioned, oneboxed, and what not.
If you want to work on this, please keep in mind that rebaking just to update the avatar isn’t needed. I’d suggest reusing [code from `UpdatUsername`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/15f657309a9b457ff315482da2fe8fbbed9caa02/app/jobs/regular/update_username.rb#L149-L165). It’s a lot faster.

이것은 `after_save`에서 발생하지만 `will_save_change`를 사용하므로 실제로는 절대 트리거되지 않는다고 확신합니다. 이전에는 작동했던 것 같지만, [2017년의 이 커밋](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/77d4c4d8dc00491b99aa15dfd78eb22a47ffe663#diff-9802ca3c9c4cf89904fd44bc114e35ebdf2c5dd3d5b645491e2b253e1afef29bR822)에서 (아마도 실수로) `_changed`에서 `will_save_change`로 변경되었습니다.
