Any one else have trouble changing avatars?
​
I've got my file all nice and small but when I brows to it and click update I get the old avatar.
​
Anyone help me?

I just enabled display of your avatar, and I'm seeing a kitten. If you're seeing something else, like some Iron Man-like cartoon character, then you're probably behind a firewall that caches images for improved performance. Give it time, your new avatar will show up.

The kitten is correct!

If you're referring to his previous avatar, that was Bobba Fett, of Star Wars fame. Just thought I'd point that out.

I was still seeing Boba Fett until I forced a reload of the page. If you don't see a change, always consider the possibility that it might be that what you see comes from your browser's cache and not the site.

Which I think is caused by the fact that our avatar's are all named after our member ID number.
​
What I mean is that no matter what you change your avatar to, it will always be named (memberID).jpg (in my case 7700.jpg).
​
The browser detects that the name is still the same, looks in its cache and simply puts the old avatar there.
​
At least, that's how I think it works. Could be wrong though.

Clearing the cache should take care of that.
