Users without avatars saw the same placeholder avatar in the mentions dropdown, while the same individual could also receive different default avatars in other contexts. This inconsistency made it difficult to distinguish users and, in some cases, created confusion by making a single user appear as two different people. In {release-version}, this issue has been fixed, and default avatars are now consistently generated with a stable color based on the `+user_id+`. This ensures that the same user always has the same default avatar, improving clarity and providing a more reliable user experience. + +For information on the **Comments** plugin, see: xref:introduction-to-tiny-comments.adoc[Introduction to Tiny Comments]. + [[improvements]] == Improvements
