Moving/Changing Buddy Icons

Hi! I was wondering if someone could help me. I've got Ichat AV 3.1.5 and I've notice that my buddy's icons keep moving around on my buddy list. Their pictures also change with them not even logging in. I have noticed this occurs when I log in and out of ichat. Why is this happening? What does it mean? Is it some type of bug?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Hey!Help!,

I would guess that in the Address Book that this Buddy has One pic and in iChat has another. It will changes when he comes and go On line, depending on the over-ride preferences in the Address Card that iChat has associated with this Buddy.

Click once on the Buddy.
Use the Apple key and i together.
Use the Address card option in the drop down.
Compare with their entry in the Address Book.

Thanks Ralph for trying to help!

You were right about there being a different picture in the address book but wrong about it changing when the buddy logged on. For some reason I think it changes when I log on or off. A bit weird..

I've also notice that the buddy pic moves from 1st to 3rd to 2nd place (while offline) indistinctly, why does that happen?
