Why is avatar changing so slow?

[Shell]

I have tried on numerous occasions to switch my avatar from [img ]http://forum.blockland.us/avatarUpload/avatar_37190.gif[/img]to [IMG ]http://i.imgur.com/M8W2eCG.gif[/img] (it worked finally) with no luck.

after a few seconds of searching, it has come to my attention that i am not the only one with this issue



as of right now, my avatar is still the same. i tried to change it hours ago. this is absolutely preposterous

The forums have been slow in general lately, not too surprising.

F5 just refreshes the page. So that might work, but it'd be really weird.

That's the problem.

Badspot changed how the forum handles avatars, and by default, web browsers do not automatically change images like that because of something called web cache.

If you want to see your new avatar without having to wait, you'll have to clear your cache by either going to your browser's settings and clearing them there or by refreshing the page using a certain keybind such as Ctrl+F5.

tl;dr: Just clear your browser's cache.

Ctrl+F5.
