Got it, no federation at all, single site on its own.

I'm not terribly concerned about the slug at this point. The email logo was fixed by editing the file and that's what I'm mainly nervous about.

ajaxify.data
{uid: 49, username: 'HelpSupport', userslug: 'helpsupport', email: '[email protected]', email:confirmed: true, …}

Sorry, are we talking about the image or the user now?
The image url is correct but emails do not have that, they have the old url without the edited file.
It's like something got 'stuck' for lack of better word.
