You didn't bother reading a couple of comments on the previous 7 pages, did you? Just searching for 'old' brings up a few posts of people with the same problem.


That's why i said that Xinil needs to update his first post with all these bugs so people won't have to re-post the same problems and we don't have to go through several pages of the same stuff.

---------


To clear cache in Firefox...

Here's How:

1.

Open Mozilla Firefox 2.
2.

From the Firefox menu options, choose Tools and then Clear Private Data....
3.

In the Clear Private Data window that appears, uncheck all checkboxes except for the Cache checkbox.

Note: If you wish to clear additional forms of "private data", feel free to check the appropriate boxes. They will be cleared with the cache in the next step.
4.

Click on the Clear Private Data Now button.
5.

When the Clear Private Data window disappears, all of the files saved (cached) from your Internet browsing activities will have been removed.

---------


If you are still having problems you can contact me on my profile and I will try to help you. I am not an expert but I will help as much as I can. ^_^

It's not the cache, at least not for me.

I have the same problem of my picture staying the same but it shows up correctly on a computer at a friend's house. I cleared my cache and ran CCleaner just to be sure, and nothing changed. I checked in IE7 (which I NEVER use) and it was my old avatar. Seems like it might be something sending certain pictures based on which IP the request is from.

i had the same problem of my avatar and picture toggling back and forth between the old one and the new one. I just kept reuploading the new one whenever I see the old one popping back again. after about 2 or 3 days, looks like it's finally settling down.

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 . . .
I'm having the same problem too. :/

Oh well, I'm just glad it's not just me. Take your time in fixing it. ^_^

Yes, most of the problems are server side from what I can tell.

I can't change my profile picture either. Nor the background wallpaper from my anime list. I tried with different browsers. Firefox, Google Chrome & IE7 (yes, I need to download 8) and now I'm using Opera.
ummm... are you seeing the pics that should be or what I see?
edit: also, cleared cookies.


I see a pink/white/beige girl, don't know if it was your new or old pic.
Yeah, I've also cleared everything, still doesn't work

I'm having the same issue. I went to change my MAL image today and it changed. So I closed the page and went on about my day. Well when I signed back on the page the image that should be there is not. The image that is there is the old one.

New image should be Umi from Magic Knights Rayearth, old one is Miyuki from Miyuki-chan in Wonderland.

I cleaned out my cache and switched my browers but it made no difference.

Same issue here:
1) Profile Picture won't change. After deleting the old one and uploading the new one, after refreshing the page the old one will be shown ( even with clean cache -> server side problem ).
2) Avatar won't change, nor i can delete the old one.
Hope it will be sorted out soon!

This is sweet! When I browse MAL at home, my forum avatar is Neliel. When I browse from work, it is Hiyori! I emptied temp internet files and all that stuff, I just thought it was odd that its different depending on the PC I am using hehe

more importantly, will the fix ever happen? Because I'm pretty sure it hasn't happened yet, and it's been quite long now. can't we be given an option to host our avatars/profile pics on our own like with wallpapers lists backgrounds?

Heh now its random on both PCs. I made this post from work and it had my hiyori avatar. Then I got home and it still had the Hiyori avatar. And now Im at home and its Neliel again ^_^ Its like a mystery, I should check at random times of day and take bets on which forum avatar I will have (-:

I am having the same proplem, my profile pic keeps appearing as pics I have used in the past even after I technically deleted the previous pic, same with my wallpaper picture...my friend see's my page the way it is intened but for me all the pics are constantly changing. It has been like this for over a week now. The only pic that appears the way I changed it to is my signature. How can my page be fixed?

The only problem not displaying for me is "My signature". Not only that I cannot see it in my profile edit menu, but it doesn't show on any other forum where I use the code. For example, here on MAL, just bellow should be displayed the signature with my favorite anime, and some other stats of my anime list. Unfortunately all I can see is a blank spot.

Pf, I just can't believe this. Firefox has just disappointed me. T_T Actually if I think again, the problem occurres only in FF, and this since yesterday when I updated the version to the latest one. Must be a bug then.

I accessed MAL with Internet Explore and everything is displayed just fine. Sry. ^^

does this fit under this same issue?

you delete a profile pic.. it says deleted and disappears.. then you upload another profile pic and the old one just comes back

or is this a whole different problem?

ya.. some guy commented about my new profile pic that I can't even see and even he said that my profile pic looks different next to comments than it does in my profile.. i tried different browsers, different computers, iPhone, clearing cache..... and it's been about a day.. i guess all that's left is to wait... if you are having the same problem, don't waste your time trying to fix it, refreshing the page, clearing your cache...... the problem is not on your end.. MAL fixes it, or it doesn't get fixed.

A few days ago Xinil posted that it changing shouldn't take that long anymore. Not sure where to find the post. Might be that only changes done after whatever he has done to improve things are affected.

i swear MAL has the weirdest website problems I have ever seen. The 65535 messages in the inbox, the pictures not updating/changing back, different profile pictures showing up for different people checking your profile, the threads showing only the first page after the crash (I know it was caused by the crash, but it was a weird way to manifest). just some weird stuff.. like someone's playing a joke on us :P

Avatar changes should be mostly fixed now and 'should' be quick to change.

Guess it still wasn't a 100% success.
