Foxtrot Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) Unable to change my avatar, it's scaled to the right size, as well, I've tried uploading it in both a jpg file and gif file. Is it me? or does anyone else have this problem? It just squished my current avatar down to the size of my new one.. Edited April 20, 2007 by Foxtrot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris North Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I've also noticed that if you click the "remove avatar" button, and then upload your new avatar, it goes through without a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Your problem in a nutshell: When you upload a new avatar to the server, it'll save the file as 'av-<member number>.<filetype>'. Your old avatar was a JPG file, as is your new one. When you uploaded the new one, it overwrote the file on the server. Your old avatar was still cached in your Temp Internet Files, so on your computer it appeared as your old avatar. Refreshing reloads everything, and overwrites the data in your cache. And if that didn't make sense, too bad, I'm too tired to re-write it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
