I have a mask for my avatar on the Stack Overflow website. However, when I go through Stack Overflow back and forth, for example, go home from the Questions tab, my mask does not appear on my avatar right away - first, my avatar without a mask appears, and then, after 1-3 seconds, the mask appears.

    Paste the hat into your avatar image. That way you will actually wear a mask 100% of the time, even after Winter Bash 2020 ends. Commented Dec 21, 2020 at 17:32
  • I have even seen people pasting "RepHunter" images into their profile pics. Sad.

Short of making it load faster, no, AFAIK. One way to get around that however, is to do what Mithical did and screenshot your avatar wearing a choice hat, then upload that as your profile pic.

Wearing a COVID19 mask isn't a trivial task.

You need to prepare.

You need to make sure it's placed correctly.

Those actions take time.

Three seconds are very quick, be glad it works without a squeak. :-D

In the HTML, it shows that the hat and the profile image are separate objects, so sometimes the hats load slower, maybe a cache problem, I think it's fine just blink your eye and it's there :-)
