   I was shocked when I checked my profile just now and found somebody else's avatar and topics listed in some of my favorite topics. What happened there?

      HubPages has a new policy that is a little like communism. You see, everything you publish here is put in a pot, shaken (gentle so as not to bruise), and meted out at random.
      
      This allows newbies and Bollywood hubbers to get a fair chance at some of the big money.
      
      Personally, I am praying (or is that preying) I get a really sexy avatar. Then I can get more followers while feeling good about my appearance every time I log in. Note to HubPages staff: Email me for a list of hubbers I would like displayed in place of my avatar.
      
      I also have my eye on a couple of really neat (and god, I hope big moneymaking)hubs. Note to HubPages staff: Email me for a list of hubs I would like placed in my portfolio. In the mean time, please fax me a list of the highest earning hubs on HubPages. This information has a high likelihood of altering my selection of hubs I would like you to send my way.

   Dunno, but we are all affected. The rss feeds are off, the hubs are off, the favorites are off...goodness knows what else? It's all just a bit mixed up.

   Actually, I think stats really are affected too, because I've just looked at adsense and my page views are fine. It's only on Hubpages they aren't.

       At this point, the problem has been going on for over 9 hours. Many many emails have been sent - probably enough to bring the server down lol, and there have still been no official announcements. I can understand why the forums are inundated with threads on this, though I honestly don't understand why, when something like this happens, people fail to look on the forum to see if others have posted about the same thing before they start new threads.

    All my "favorite topics" hubs are someone else's hubs with the author's avatar - I've never seen or visited any of the hubs nor have I any interest in the topics.  It's not fun or funny!  I tried rebooting, hoping it was a computer glitch, it seemed so inexplicale.  Hope the situation can be resolved!! It could be quite destructive.
    
    Also a friend has joinedd Hubpages, received a welcoming email but when she posted a comment, my notification of a new comment said it was by an unverified person.  What's that all about?
