      Kbin is having thumbnail caching issues lately, and will assign thumbnails from other posts that were submitted around the same time. I feel like it’s been happening for a week or two now.

      @ernest, plz

      Yea, there’s clearly something misconfigured over on kbin at the moment. Might be worth pinging one of the people that runs it.
