    weird??

    Hi there, admins!

    I've just a dumb (maybe) question: why can I see now, in the emoticons gallery, an icon of Hitler??

    I was wondering how is it possible?

    cheers

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    People just assume it's Hitler. It is in fact Charlie Chaplin on a bad hair day.

    but it just seemed me a bit odd, you know, old Adolf smiling at me while I post something in a Trail Bike forum, phew!

    cheers

    I think the icon appeared roughly at the same time as this video was posted on the forum
