Help determining meaning of a sentence

Hello everyone!

So I've been studying Spanish for a few months and recently came across the following line on a Spanish message board:

This is one of those cases where I think I understand the general idea, but I would like to get an opinion. This has been bugging me for a while now!!

Thanks

Edit: It's the second part of the sentence that's bugging me. Obviously there are no issues with the first half wink

Rather hard to comment without knowing what the old and new photos were like, but it seems that the speaker believes that the person was being pretentious when they changed them out. The difference may have been similar to changing a driver's license photo to a professional head shot, or using a younger photo of yourself, or substituting any photo that seems misleading or excessively flattering (one showing you wearing formal attire and lots of expensive jewelry, etc.)
