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.

I think there was a time when the problem got fixed, but after a few hours or so it came back.

I hope it gets fixed soon.

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'm currently seeing this avatar at the moment.



Was anybody successful trying my theory out in my recent post?
