It seems to be fixed for me. I can see all profile pics and thumbnails again, as well as the avatars that were missing.

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 =_=

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.

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.

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.

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!
