Problems with icons in comments.

 When I make a comment on someone else's blog, I select a suitable icon. But when I post the comment my default icon is displayed instead of the icon that I chose. I tried to edit the comment to change my icon, and the default icon was nevertheless displayed.

Is there something I need to do in order to be able to select an icon when commenting, or has something gone fubar?

Edit: And it did it for posting to this community, too.

I just commented on another blog, chose and non-default icon, and it ended up displaying properly in the comment. I've chosen another non-default icon for this comment, so let's see what happens.

Huzzah! The non-default icon is showing. Looks like they've fixed it.

One of the common variables seems to be if an icon was uploaded without a keyword, ending up as something like pic#5363728. When a keyword is added after the fact, that seems to be part of the problem, afaict. (I'm not a coder, just things I've noticed from looking at support boards and such, so grain of salt and all that.)
