ok, you’re going to have to help us further here
I’ve just looked at the site, and there seem to be lots of avatars and they seem to belong to relevant authors.
Can you specify exactly what you are seeing maybe with what you should be seeing !
Thanks collecting details for you now.
I am an Admin on this site. I am seeing my username and Gravatar applied to Topics and Posts I did not create. I’ve never participated in this forum. The authors are relevant but the gravatar and username assigned to their posts is mine not theirs.
Here is a perfect example. If you visit this page it probably looks normal.

Next I offer this page:
http://icmmaca2.wpengine.com/forums/topic/your-gym-or-business-featured-on-mmaca-site
Please compare what you see to this screenshot which is see what I see.

My user name is indeed pcgs51 and that logo is my official Gravatar but the posts are from other members of the site. My Gravatar all over this forum but these items are not from me.
Steps taken:
All plugins except for bbpress are now turned off but issue continued
I tried using the theme Twenty Thirteen but issue continued
Contacted WPEngine and had a caching exception applied to the site to ensure their agressive caching was not the issue. No luck.
Try viewing this in Incognito. Issue continues.
I don’t know what else to share with you. Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for that great problem definition – that really helped.
Given all that you’ve done, I’d guess that someone has been deleting users.
When they do this, there is a prompt to either delete that users content, or attribute all content to another – can’t remember how it picks this another, but I’d see who has permission to delete users, and go ton them to see what they have been doing.
Thanks for your reply robin-w. That is a very good assumption but I am not aware of anyone removing users. These are paid membership sites that do not expire so doubtful anyone has been removed. Certainly not in the numbers I’m seeing in the forum. But I will ask the other admins about this. Thanks.
Ok, apart from that I am stumped !
