Did a quick search, not seeing anything similar here. After splitting some posts off of a thread, one of the users whose posts were moved is still appearing (the avatar) on the topic list (in latest and category view). However, once the topic is opened, the user does not appear in the summary. Images below:

@sam recently changed this so it is best if he has a look. May depend which version of Discourse you are on.

We deployed our fix today … @jomaxro can you try to reproduce this on your forum now and link me to the problem topics if it is still happening.
