Avatar will not change


Recommended Posts

Wanted to change my avatar but no luck. Everything seems to work ok but my avatar stays the same.

Just attached the avatar I want to use :happy:

I had the same problem as well, but saving my avatar as a GIF worked. My guess is that there is a problem uploading PNG's as your avatar.

Had a similar problem a few days ago, it kept reverting back to an older Avatar - I just uploaded the image to an Imagehosting service and linked the avatar instead, worked fine.

I get that alot of the time too.

As Joel said, when you upload an avatar, it saves it as av-memberid.ext. Therefore, if you upload an image of the same type as your last one, your browser won't realise that the image has changed (hence why changing to a gif fixed it for you, Scirwode).

You guys just had to clear your cache, most likely. CTRL-F5

Hi Joel. I tried CTRL-F5, I use Firefox 3.0.1 and no luck changing my avatar yet. :/

(Y) That worked. I changed my avatar to a .jpg and it worked!

I have tried posting PNG/GIF/JPG and it keeps on reverting to my last avatars of that particular type. The new avatar won't show up, no matter what I do. Multiple computer, flushing cache - nothing seems to work.
