This is true, insomuch as I labeled the little motorcycle ridin' dude "The Ferret" in the forum settings. Sorry for any confusion that it might have caused.

Useful to know! I like it.
Yet another strange browser glitch ...
Apt name for the dude on the bike, though.

Browser or server?
This is likely a browser issue. If you hover over the Smilie graphic (you might need to give it a couple of seconds), you should see the name of the graphic appear:
(The Ferret, thumbsup)
Though this information is being served up via the web server, it is the responsibility of the web browser to present it. When a browser is unable to display a graphic, it will display alternative text if available. In the case of the Smilies graphics, it grabs the name of the graphic to use as alternative text. As I had changed the name of the biker to "The Ferret" back when I first enabled Smilies on this site, more than likely this has happened numerous times over the past ten years and no one has noticed. I am wondering if those of you who are currently seeing "The Ferret" instead of the little riding biker graphic are using the Chrome browser.
If you look at the screenshot that PowerDubs shared, you can see that other images were also not being displayed in his browser (Nachodaddy's Avatar is missing), thus the alternative text was displayed in Nachodaddy's post instead of the Smilie graphic itself.

Thanks for your explanation, Guth!
I use the Chrome and Firefox as a backup and cannot duplicate it as said above, even after 30 sec, and has never experienced it ???
Just a note, not a complaint

The "biker" image (file is actually called "biker.gif") is referenced as "The ferret". So, yeah.
Maybe I am missing a point: I always see the expected graphic in Chrome ...
Since I do not cache anything from the CB1100 Forum site (I do not cache anything from any social site), I can only suspect this was served up.
Perhaps not much said here.

While biker.gif is the actual filename, I was referring to the named assignment in the forum software.

I'm afraid that by trying to explain in more detail, I will simply cause more confusion. For those of you that find things are working just fine, there is probably no need to get sucked down into the details.
