missing image in confluence 3.0.1

I am using confluence 3.0.1 and have the problem that some images are not shown after logout. I remember there being a fix but cannot find anything despite extensive google searches.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I do not have an installation of Confluence 3.0.1 available, we use a more current version 3.4.9, but perhaps the things are similar.

I think the reason for your missing image is simple. Your profile image is stored in the people directory, and you don't have access to the people directory without login. So even if anonymous access is allowed in your personal wiki, the space logo is taken from the people directory, and there the anonymous user has no access.

There is no workaround known to that problem. Atlassian states that it is a feature, not a bug. See the issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-16626 for a similar case. In newer versions of confluence, a question mark is shown to indicate that a profile picture should exist, but is not shown. So it does not look anymore like a technical bug.
