 * Hi Ariel,
 * Ok for the calculation of the number of avatars involved depending on the theme
   file sizes.
 * I activated the new version with 30 colors to choose from, it should remain acceptable
   in terms of number of avatars generated.
 * Previous folder still has hundreds of thousands of them to delete, SSH turning
   night and day to get them out. As per now, I reclaimed 300 GB (not a typo) back
   on our server, which means millions of avatars were created over time.
 * I will follow up with the size of the new folder as soon as a significant amount
   of avatars have been created. As per now I can see each letter is now assigned
   a fixed color chosen from the pool I use. This is correct and I feel like it 
   was not the case before.
 * Also, now each user really use the same avatar, I figured out that with previous
   setup, same user (same username, IP, email) had different avatars.

 * I just tried to limit the background to some selected colors, will see if this
   keeps the number of generated avatars to a reasonable amount. Still better than
   a fixed background color at last.
 * If I understand correctly, if I select 20 different HEX colors and we have 26
   letters in alphabet, the total number of avatars should of 520 different svg 
   files. Correct ?

 * Hi Ariel, thanks for your answer,
 * I Use svg format, square avatar, Bold and Uppercase letters, white color for 
   letters, and automatic background color for each user.
 * Using a fixed background color could indeed minimize the amount of created avatars,
   but it will be less visually attractive for users when a thread is full of comments.
 * Still, this discrepancy between the number of avatar files and users who at least
   once posted a comment is concerning. If it would match both numbers, this would
   not be an issue at all.
 * It also looks like that each time you activate disactivate the plugin or change
   something in settings, everything is recreated from scratch with new file numbers.
   Normal behavior indeed, but there should be a way to also delete old avatars 
   because settings changed.

   WPES on global. It works.

 * Thanks for your answer, desactivating the Novashare plugin (the social media 
   icons sharing system) indeed solves the issue.
    Then I need to create a rule 
   to exclude those buttons from detection ?

   for example, but it’s the same behavior on all posts, like there is one more 
   missing picture in the gallery. Cannot figure out why.

 * also : last update has an issue with Freemius behavior, it generates thousands
   calls to DB for nothing. Hosting company was not very pleased with that.
