| Tsk tsk, what is with MAL. First it sucessfully changes my avatar, now I try to change it again it refuses. Then when I change my profile image it reverts to the old one! |
 |
| Resize it yourself. |
 |
| It's resized already, and now my avatar and profile img wont change. |

|
| Hm, weird the profile picture's background is black for me and my avatar has a white background. |

| Okay, so I uploaded a new profile pic. It shows up when I comment in Clubs, it shows up on my profile on my phone (and my tablet), but not on my laptop. Wth. [b]Edited:[b] Nevermind, it's only Google Chrome it doesn't show up on. [b]Edited 2:[b] I had to delete my browsing data for it to work. |

| Because it was still in your cache |
|
| I've been trying to change my picture. I have tried twice by changing it and waited 20 minutes between each try I then used the remove tool which seemed to work. But then I tried to upload my new picture. Instead of using my new one it reverted back to my first picture. Am I doing something wrong? |
 |
| Thanks, up to several days even... |

Nelthro said: Thanks, up to several days even... It's usually just that old picture is still cached. I, for one, already see your new picture. Your browser thinks that the picture is the same, and shows you the one saved on your PC, not the one you uploaded, regardless of whether it changed or not, so if you still see the old one, hard-refresh the page. But the picture users see may vary from user to user, so if you still see the old one even after hard-refresh, then it wasn't updated on your side yet |

| You sure it's my new one? The old one is Cicero from Skyrim, the new on is Zancrow. <--- that one just bigger |
NelthroOct 6, 2014 10:54 AM
| |
| Yes I am sure Have you cleared your cache? |
|
| Thread Merged. |
 |
| Cleared it a few times now. |
| |
| Well as I already said, for some users it updates faster and for some slower |
|
| Damn it database, update my avatar already. I have been waiting 4 days now and still no changes ;-; |

     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| Change it to jpg, it will upload instantly. |
|
| I tried that in the beginning, but then mistakenly forgot the grey bg color, so after some time i tried again and but the flawed image kept being there, keeping the correct one unloaded. Now i have changed to gif and that finally did it. Remind me to carefully check my profile and avatar pic for mistakes before trying next time D: Thanks for the advices anyway ^_^ |
My avatar automatically breaks whenever I try uploading it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it doesn't exceed the size limit. In fact, it was working fine last night and until a few hours ago it was fine too. This is the image. Just now I tried changing it to JPG but that did nothing, it still won't budge. MAL absolutely refuses to cooperate and use the avatar. And considering MAL has no offsite url hosting, only uploads I tried making the background transparent so maybe it wouldn't recognize it..but it didn't work. EDIT: It works now..somehow EDIT 2: Image broke again somehow so there ya go |

| You can also try to rename it to .gif |
|
| Uploading it as a gif image seems to have been successful. If I have any further problems down the line with this sort of thing, I'd appreciate continued assistance. Thanks for your help. |

aeeaeeaa said: link of the background I want http://randomc.net/image/Monogatari/Monogatari%20Second%20Season%20-%20OP4%20-%20Large%2004.jpg There's something written on that unknown image you struggle with. Something about hot-linking, and that it's not allowed. I suggest you to find out what hot-linking is, why some sites do not allow it, and re-upload your background to different image hosting server |
|
aeeaeeaa said: Ah thanks a lot, I couldn't read the little text because image is too enlarged. Do you happen to know a good site for hosting images thatworks on MAL ? I tried imgur and some other sites but the links to those pics would only get me a blackscreen. I don't know, I never had a problem with imgur. How does a link that doesn't work for you look, anyway? People also use dropbox |

alex-BK said: What should I do? Are you sure you uploaded your profile picture and not forum avatar? They are different |
|
alex-BK said: Yep, I'm sure, it's quite an obvious difference. Oh, I just saw you don't have profile picture and that's why I asked. Anyway, did you see this: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=76425&show=700#msg15521929? Basically, it just takes some time, and often what you see is your cached picture, not your current one. Have you hard-refreshed the page? |

| I'm trying to add my avatar to forums but the requirement is 100x125. Where do people find images that small? Is there a way to resize the picture to fit those dimensions? |

Rotating the file type works well for me. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
Higashi_no_Kaze said: Yeah rotating your already saved avatar between jpeg, png, and gif is really the only way for me to change my forum avatar now. I just sacrificed my last gif spot for this bad boy. Waiting a few days didn't work for me at all, nor did clearing the cache or history. No clue when it's going to be really fixed.JhysenTheAsian said: thanks a bunch! hopefully MAL fixes everything lol I recently changed my forum avatar twice and it always worked with a day. 1 or 2 years ago I tried to change my avatar for 9 months without success (it kept reverting back) so I'd say it has improved greatly already.

Serhiyko said: You can also try to rename it to .gif I tried that, just because you keep recommending, but it didn't work. If you rename a jpg or a png type image to .gif, it will still be uploaded to it's type slot. |

tsudecimo said: I tried that, just because you keep recommending, but it didn't work. If you rename a jpg or a png type image to .gif, it will still be uploaded to it's type slot. Are you trying to change your forum avatar or profile picture? Because, you see, it only works for the former If it's the last, maybe you didn't do that properly? Sorry if you did, but can you show the image you uploaded as a .gif? |
SerhiykoOct 13, 2014 3:26 AM
|
| The current one I have. Isn't it simply renaming to ''.gif''? |
|
tsudecimo said: The current one I have. See the post above, I edited it |
|
| Why would I try it with a profile picture? I know profile pictures only have a .jpg slot, and it automatically changes any file type to .jpg My current avatar: myanimelist.net/images/useravatars/1853032.jpg My old avatar: http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/useravatars/1853032.gif |

tsudecimo said: Hey, tsud. Simply renaming the file always works for me. Perhaps what is happening to you is that the file extension name is hidden i.e. instead of naruto.jpg it only appears as naruto. So when you rename it, it becomes naruto.gif, but what it really becomes is naruto.gif.jpg.I tried that, just because you keep recommending, but it didn't work. If you rename a jpg or a png type image to .gif, it will still be uploaded to it's type slot. I can't say for sure that we have the same situation, but this has happened to me once. (: |

(: That's why I'm asking you to post the image you are trying to upload. As I said, sorry if it's not the case, but I want to make sure If you already have it taken, then you should also know that it will revert to your old gif avatar. Our advice only applies to people who don't have it taken |

| The file extension name doesn't appear to any image I have, How do I make them appear? Serhiyko said: If you already have it taken, then you should also know that it will revert to your old gif avatar. Our advice only applies to people who don't have it taken No, if the method actually works, then my avatar won't change but it will appear on the non-cdn link, which shows the recent uploaded avatar, but it went to the .jpg slot. |

Because you don't actually rename its type. You still upload it with the same file extension, so what do you expect? |
|
| So the renaming, changes their file type? and does it also change the quality of the picture? The only reason I'm trying your method, is because when you covert a static image to .gif it quality suffers a lot, and it's noticeable. |
|
tsudecimo said: yes, it changes the file type, and no, it does not change the quality. you can edit it as jpg and then just rename it as gif.So the renaming, changes their file type? and does it also change the quality of the picture? |
| Okay thanks! |
|
| I have a problem. I had my new avatar uploaded for about a week now. All of a sudden today it changed back to the old one by itself. What happened? This is getting annoying. |
