avatar issues?


Recommended Posts

so here's the story... i had that "1337 posts avatar", and i went to change it with a gif file... worked if i uploaded it to MY server, but when i tried to use the "browse" to upload it to neowin, it didn't work (and my 1337 avatar kept showing). even if i clicked "remove avatar" and tried to upload the new gif, the old 1337 would come back :ninja:

i eventually changed the .gif extension to .jpg, and that worked... so maybe the server has a problem with gif's?

maybe they just dissallowed them ?

i dunno, but the avatar settings page says gif's are allowed...

and would disabling gif's mean that when i tried to upload one, that the server would revert back to my old avatar?

refresh the page once you upload it. What happens is the file is stored under the same name, so you are seeing the image cached by your browser and not the new one on the server.

alright, let me check that out...

i've told safari to use no cache and all that, but who knows :p
