| I might have a theory on how to temporary fix this problem until it officially gets fixed by the admins but this process might take awhile to do. What I did is I created two jpg files of the same exact picture I wanted to use as my profile picture. For example: (oldpic.jpg, newpic1.jpg, newpic2.jpg) Let's assume "oldpic.jpg" is your old profile picture, avatar, etc. and you wanted to replace it with "newpic1.jpg". I uploaded "newpic1.jpg" a couple of days ago and then when that picture started to appear in my profile I quickly uploaded "newpic2.jpg" of that same picture. This theory I been using has been working for me so far and hasn't switched to my older picture that I've been using since then. |

| Damn I was really proud of my new avatar :( :) |
| bah, avy still hasn't changed and its been over a day. can someone tell me what they are seeing? |
 |
| i have newly uploaded a new picture yeah so it took about 2 hours for it to change once it changed i was happy right :)) sometimes it keeps changing back to my old one and i have to wait 2 hours for my newly uploaded profile picture to change again ~_~ is this a known glitch or is it just for me |

| It's the subject of the top sticky thread on the support forums. New Uploaded Pictures Not Changing Xinil said: Due to some changes in the content distribution network on MAL, user avatars/images/profile pics/wallpapers (basically everything) will have delays in when they update. This could take 5 minutes or 5 hours. Rest assured I'm looking in to making it update quicker, but right now, it's a problem I haven't been able to fix. So in a nutshell, please be patient if your newly uploaded picture doesn't change. So, yeah. |
| no thats the problem its that my profile picture changes it self back to my old one like a few hours right after i just changed it |

| Still not fixed, FYI boss on my connection it's all still my old avatars (changed it about 24 hours ago) but when I went through my proxy the new pics were displaying. |
| :< still waiting... I don't wanna change my profile cause I know my profile pic won't change yet. |
| I'd be lying if I didn't say that I was annoyed when my new profile picture reverts back to the original one. Still, thanks for letting us know that this is a known bug. I have some experience with forums, blogs and websites (but I've never run a system this complex) so I can understand how much of a pain bugs can be. Good luck with everything. |
 |  . |
| Yay, finally it changed! I <3 Mio EDIT: Dammit, now it's back to the old one >_< EDIT2: Lol, now it's the new one again... ^_^ |

| My new one has now appeared and has been there for a good few hours :) Edit: Hmmm how very odd, my new profile pic had been there for at least 2 hours when I was browsing the forums and on my profile, I must have checked it a good 10+ times, however as soon as I made a post it has reverted back to the old one! |
Skyfall said: My new one has now appeared and has been there for a good few hours :) You're still one lucky guy - I can't see my new avatar or profile pic at all, not even for a sec:( |
| My new profile pic hasn't showed up and it's been nearly 2 days... |
     |
| Avatar just keeps switching back and forth, and it's starting to get on my nerves... =_= |
"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water." -Wystan Hugh |
| My profile pic has stayed on the new one for more then 30 hours now =D I expect it to change to the old one when i post this though >_< |
| I thought it was the usual bugs, but I guess it wasn't fixed. Well, thanks for the news. I'll wait. |
| Same, and now it changes between 3 pics wich is more annoying. The avatar one is also not what i want. EDIT: what the fuck. it changes sometimes between 2 pics (avatar). |
| I thought i was the only one having problems with the avatar system. Lol I know xD My avatar keeps changing from new to old 0.0 Thanks for mentioning it about the error though.^-^ |

| I have yet to see my new avatar. I'm not even sure it uploaded properly, even though MAL told me it had and I also did it twice. Is it normal to be unable to remove your avatar as well? |
| mine also keep changing back to my old picture =(!! |
     |
| Mine is switching back and forth between old profile pics and my new one. |
| just tried changing it again and it switched to the new one instantly! Yay! now hopefully it will stay there :P |

| my profile pics stuck on an lolcat |
| so.... the profile pic uploading is bugged huh.... it always reverts back to its old pic ;X |
| mine seem fixed but when I comment, my old pic is still there. yesterday it was alright, but now it went back again |
 |
| Ugh. Mine had finally changed and stayed changed for a few days but now it looks like it is going back and forth again. I hope they get this worked out soon. I can understand it taking awhile to upload a new picture if the server is backed up or something but I don't understand what it is that makes us go back to old pictures we already deleted. Shouldn't it just stay as the new picture? |
| mine when back the old one again |
|
| GAH~I was soo happy that my new picture was up there few hours ago and when i visited the forums to post and went back to my profile~My old avatar went back again D:. Ahhh |
Love is filled with mystery |
| Just changed my profile pic, and "Picture uploaded successfully. It may take up to 30 minutes for your new picture to show, please be patient." Hope it gets fixed soon. Yare yare, so many bugs. |

Yare yare, so many bugs. 30 minutes, hah. I changed mine over two days ago and it still hasn't shown up. Not even the disappearing act, not seen any sign of the new one at all yet. |
| Yeah mine keeps switching back and fourth from old to new. lol Hope to see it fixed soon! ^_^ |
| Aww its unfortunate that this is a bug. I tried to upload a new profile pic last night, it appeared after 30 min or so, but then reverted back to my old one. I'm not displeased with my old one.. xD but this bug is a bit odd. Hope everything works out! No pressure ;] |
| None of the profile pictures on mine or anyone elses pages are loading. Same goes for forum avatars. Does anyone know when this is going to be fixed? |

| No matter how I upload the picture, my forum avatar doesn't change :/ it keeps switching back to the old one lol I hope this bug gets fixed soon |
| We're all insane |
| The same problems are happening to me too. (Don't know if you guys care how many people, just thought I'd throw in my two cents XD) |

I know you can't tell me exactly when it'll finally update, but perhaps a ballpark? Edit: Yay after 3.5 days mine finally updated. I just had to be patient with it. =^_^= |

Good (or bad? lol) to know it's not only me though |
