I am tryibng to change my avatar. When I go into my profile it looks like there is no avatar. I upload a new one and it tells me it's done and yet the old one reappears on my profile page. I tried the control + F5 stuff and no dice.
I then try to delete it and it will not be deleted no matter how many times I click delete avatar. It's like a stealth avatar that reappears no matter what new image I upload and that just will not die.
AND YET, when I go into the forum, I have NO avatar, as you can see here, neither the old one nor the new one. Any thoughts? Drew?

It's a cache problem. Avatars are cached for 24 hours so we only have to send them over the wire once a day per user. Try Crtl+R instead of Ctrl+F5 to force a reload of all of the content in a page.

Drew -- Sorry but Crtl+R doesn't work. I keep getting the same old avatar and my new avatar, while apparently uploaded, appears nowhere. Relax; NBD. I'll wait till tomorrow sometime and try it again and then report back.

remember there's a PROFILE picture and an AVATAR picture....i had a prob similar to this a while back and it was because I wasn't uploading the right one. Not sure if that'll help, but I'm throwing that one out there.

I was having the problem on all browsers--AOL. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome.
But for whateverr reason, the problem seems to have resolved itself today. Thnaks.

It could have been a caching server at your ISP. AOL will get in the middle and serve images from their cache servers.
Our cache settings aren't ideal but they save us a ton of bandwidth.
