Was going to post about problems concerning avatar/sig etc, however this thread solved them very quickly. Thanks this thread is a great resource. :)

Go to one of the pages where you can see the small pic, preferably a user who you commented's page. And then hard refresh, hold ctrl and press f5. That should update it.

Who is it supposed to be? I see Guts. If it's supposed to be him then go to your profile and hard refresh a couple of times(hold ctrl and press f5).

If not then have you tried gif?

I have a problem with profile pics, too: when I click on "Upload picture" after choosing a new one, it drives me to this page:

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

So, if I could delete my old PP, I can't have another one...

It's odd how some gifs change each other instantly but when it comes,I know that it sounds stupid,to come from the same anime,it doesnt change.For instance,I wanted to change my current avatar.
But if I want to change it with a different one it changes fast.Also it gives a particular error only on one gif,"500 internal server error" is the error and it happens only on the gif I want to upload.

Are you wanting to change it to another gif? Then it probably won't work. But if you haven't uploaded a png or jpg in a while then it should work quickly.

You go to one of those pages where you can see your comments and you hard refresh(hold ctrl and press f5) a couple of times and it fixes it.

Not for me: I'm still unable to upload a new picture... I still have this screen when I click on "Upload picture":

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Well the whole reason why I never replied to you and left it to someone else is because I don't know how to fix what's happening to you. The changing of the extension is for people who can't theirs to change despite uploading a new one, not having an error like you while trying to upload, it seems like the server stores one of each extension of pic. So to get past it not changing, changing to an extension you haven't used in a long time usually fixes it.
You can go ahead and try that if you want or here's a thread about the same problem.

Do you have anything to ask her or are you just whining about the problem? (and this thread was made in 2009) and we have methods that help people change their avatars fast. Profile pics and wallpaper have always been fast.

No problem, but now you won't be able to change to a png for a while. It's best to know exactly what avatar you want to use for a while. If you want to change it again, gif would probably work, at least until jpg basically frees itself.

This is the avatar I want to change to, which I'm really proud of and content with and want to use forever from now on:



I used all formats for various avatars ages ago except for one gif I just uploaded which I wasn't content at all with and I extremely regret I even wasted my important uploading chance because when I try to upload to all formats, they're taken. Here they are:

1. JPG


2. PNG

The current one I see since it's what I want it to be on MAL temporarily until it changes to what I want, not the others.

3. GIF


WHAT A MISTAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



I tried everything, clearing caches and cookies, using 3 browsers, asking people if they see my new avatar and more and more... Nothing helps now. I'm truly in a Dead End.

This uploading problem is here for years now. If MAL can't fix it in the servers, why doesn't it allow to simply upload your avatar into another image uploading site and use it as your avatar like in many forums for it to change fast in here aswell?

53 pages of People talking about their avatar uploading problems. This makes my eyes go red from all these users pain.

Because the rules would still apply. Right now this site by having you upload it can make you obey the height and width limit and the file size limit. NSFW ones will be reported. If they make it so you can just use another site, then there would be a lot more moderation for them since you can bypass all the limits.

Though most of these people's problems were solved by using a different extension.

Yours might be solved by removing your avatar, and leaving it like that for a couple of days. Then uploading one with the extension you haven't used in a long time. And then try uploading it ever day or so until it changes.

BTW I see one that's not on your post, it's the top pic of your profile pic.

There's gotta be a solution for this particular annoying problem which is around 2009, I can even say it's nerve grating. Additionally, MAL seriously needs a server upgrade already because of the hundreds of thousands, even millions of users from all over the world who are using it and suffering from lags and various other bugs, glitches and various other countless problems.

I'll try removing my avatar, but Posting without my double waifu face for days? What am I in, a No-Fun Security Prison?

Oh man, I uploaded the pic you're talking about maybe 10 days ago and never saw it once, then decided to use it as my profile pic, I never wanted 2 of the same pictures used on the same site of the same character. Thanks for being my 'eye' in this subject.
MAL is also deceiving my eyes now? No excuses anymore, this has to be stopped. Somebody has to take action against this treachery and deceiving of my vision.



I'm exaggerating ofcourse, but this problem is really damn annoying and is getting on my nerves. What can be done already?

Well I don't know if this problem has been here since 2009 or it's been recurring since 2009. But either way I agree.

This whole problem would have been avoided if you had picked the right picture for your waifu at the start. You'll have to do with only having her on your signature for a little while. Next time make sure to pick the best pic that you won't mind keeping for at least a couple of months.

Yeah I sometimes have an avatar from months ago pop up for five minutes or so. Xinil is the creator of the site. I think having people post 24/7 on his profile about this problem might give him a boost.

Nothing really, don't know how long it will stay. Don't even know if he plans on fixing it. All we have are these little tricks that can get it uploaded. Most of the time there's no real problem, but sometimes a person like you comes along that has already used all the extensions. You just have to wait a while, eventually it will go through. It's not a huge problem but it is inconvenient.

Ok , so , I had it . I tryed to find out , on my own , why but I cant do anything . Everytime I try to upload one peculiar gif avatar , it gives me an "500 Internal Server Error" , it happens only with that gif file , it matches the requirements and it's even smaller than the current one...

Have you tried a different extension? There's jpg, png, and gif, change it to one the pic you're trying to upload isn't. Like if the pic is a jpg, change it to a png and then try to upload it. If you haven't uploaded one of that extension in a while then it should change right away.

This is really helpful! I've been waiting for like 9 hours for my avatar to change- but it always kept going back to the old one!

I tried changing the format, and it worked. So it's not like I have a problem, I just want to express my gratitude <3

Thankies~


Edit : Actually the profile picture is a different story, it's refusing to change.
//Fixed : Opening the profile picture link in a new page and removing the cnd. then force refreshing fixed it <3

Basically, though with png or jpg, you might not have to wait long. I believe removing your avatar for like a day and then keep on trying to upload one and it could go through. There are some people that change their avatars once a week.
