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.

Lol Yeah, my profile pic hasn't changed itself for the past two days now. It's weird though because my new profile pic (or at least what it's supposed to be) shows up when I make comments. But I figured that it was due to a technical problem. *shrugs* No worries. I'm a patient person. Good luck with fixing it!

Just so we're clear, what about anime characters' thumbnails and some club thumbnails? Will those return eventually or will we have perpetual loading on some sites?

Example: Mai-HiME
Look at Natsuki Kuga.

All those pics show up fine for me.

Different people are experiencing different problems regarding images. I for instance can't see my profile picture or forum avatar at all, while other people have no problems seeing them. Same goes for a couple of other people's thumbnail pics on my profile. It's a real weird thing.

Yeah, I had the profile/avatar thing. After a while it fixed itself but now I'm getting this instead. It's very annoying having to forcibly stop loading my profile and, most of the time, my panel :|

I changed my picture on my profile, and it keeps changing back to the original picture after a couple of hours. Looks like another symptom of the same issue . . .

Lucky for me I don't change my avatars very often, but am currently trying to add a new background to my anime list. It keeps switching back and forth from new to old. Oh well, no biggie for me. I understand that you have a lot on your hands Xinil, so no worries here! Just keep up the good work!

I uploaded a new profile pic last night, and this morning it's still my old one. However, when I make a comment in a club, my newly uploaded profile pic will show up next to my name then, but it still won't show up in my actual profile.

Same issue as post #10.. Others seems to see my new avatar/wallpaper but I don't, tried different web browsers and clearing the cache etc.. no difference. Even tried to remove my avatar completely, went to the profile to see it gone, "N/A", then uploaded another pic, went back to the profile page and yey! still the old pic showing :(

Well, Natsuki is fixed now but not Zashiki-warashi. At least it's improving :)

Edit: Everything seems to be working for me now.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem too. I just updated my profile and forum avatars this morning and they have yet to be updated. However, the thumbnails seem to be updated nicely. In any case, I hope this error would be fixed soon. =)

Mine changed for a second and then went back to my old one. Ah well, I'll wait it out... at least I can send messages again now. That was a much worse glitch.

Not sure if this works. I tried it over 12 hours ago and it didn't, yet it works now.

1) Go to upload picture to see if it has changed yet and if it did, refresh the page a few times to see if it will change back to your old picture. And if it doesn't, go to the profile page and you should see your new profile picture.

2) If you visit the profile page before going to upload picture, it will display your old profile picture but it can be solved by doing step 1 afterwards.

My avatar changed instantly yesterday.

My profile picture has changed last I checked but.. When I post on club threads, I see myself represented by my old profile picture which I had already removed. A glitch?

It takes a bit longer to update your new pic in the comments.

I changed my picture yesterday and it didn't fully update (comment wise) until late last night/today.

My profile pic hasn't changed either. I'm kinda bummed because I spend quite some time with that pic to get the right sketchy feel. Oh well, as long as the problem gets fixed in a reasonable time frame, I'll be patient.

Uh... I noticed that there's this issue of profile pics and avatars not changing. I'm sorry to have to bring it up as well.

I changed my profile picture around almost 3 days ago and it still hasn't changed when I log on or see my profile pic with my computer. But apparently some people can see the updated one. : /

Almost a day and a half now that my avatar hasn't changed. It's a really nice Mio avatar (if I say so myself /boast) so I'm getting a bit impatient =_=
