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. Welcome to Wraeclast, exile. |

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 =_= "Thousands have lived without love, not one without water." -Wystan Hugh |

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. Modified by Typhoon-Gunner, 04-06-09, 2:19 PM |

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. |
