Do you mean the small image that appears next to each comment?  
That will be the profile image of the user that made the comment.  
If they don’t have a profile image, then a placeholder is used - the first character of their user name.

I’ve never seen that, so I can’t explain it, sorry.  
Somebody else might know.

Hmm, I was having issues this as well. Does this user have a user profile set up?

If the image isn’t selected for the user as per of the user profile, it defaults to the user’s **gravatar**

Yes, I was going to ask if an image was uploaded in the app for their profile.

For my app, I solved this by having the upload of an avatar required during the onboarding process so no other images or simply a letter isn’t displayed.
