Author Topic: Forum avatar didn't update after I uploaded new one.  (Read 538 times)

Yesterday, I updated my avatar with another 75x75 gif which was about 270KB. No error message showed up so I thought it was a success. I didn't see it in my profile though, so I cleared my cookies and cache but it still wasn't there. Even after waiting a day, my avatar is still a candle. How do I fix this?

Ctrl+f5 is different than f5. Ctrl+f5 is a forced recache of everything. His browser does cache images, and it is entirely possible that once he changes it properly his new avatar won't appear for a little while because his browser saved his old avatar and loads that one for speed purposes. Pressing Ctrl+f5 forces your browser to recache all the images, which means it'd download your new avatar instantly.
