Is this this what you want your avatar to be? If so try hard refreshing (f5 + ctrl) on the change your avatar tab. It might switch then.

right it is... you see it in my posts?

No, it's still the girl from Kill La Kill.

No. If you copy the image url and take away the cdn from the link you get the picture you uploaded.

So, I've been trying to update my profile picture, I've tried everything from filetypes, sizes and programs used. It's been almost 2 days since I first tried to change it and nothing's happened at all so far. A friend of mine seems to have the same issue.

Should I really just wait? According to this forum, maybe yes... (not amused)

Edit: oh jeesus , removing the "cdn." will show the image in new tab, as specified by the person above on other post. But ctrl+f5 doesn't change it in the profile of mine.

Edit2: Now I've been having changing and change back issue. (  ̄д ̄)
Whatever, at least something's happening and that's a relief.

For the past few days I've been trying to change my profile picture but it doesn't seem to work. I know that a previous time when I had changed it it took multiple hours but other times it took less than an hour so I don't know if I'm just not being patient enough or...?

For your profile pics, don't bother trying to change them. The site has been bonkers for a week and it's really hard to change them. Just leave it until the site gets better.

It only lasted for a day until it reverted back to this image, It's already been weeks since i uploaded it. I want my new image since this "current one" is already annoying me.

My profile picture is just fine♡

I see my old picture from way back (Psycho-Pass), but everyone else can see my new picture (Ef: A Tale of Melodies). It's annoying that I can't see it, but at least everyone else see the changes.

Try thy following.

---Method ONE---

Delete old avatar, refresh page, if it's still there delete it again (Now clear the browser's cache), and then make two image formats (of your new avatar):

1- .jpg
2- .png

Upload the .jpg refresh page, upload the .png format, Deleted any pics (even if it changes), Now upload the .png format, and then the .jpg format, refresh page now it should work (at least that's how it worked for me).



---Method TWO---

Delete avatar and wait for it to be deleted, if you noticed that is is no longer there (Blank avatar box), Now wait for about a day (do it when you are about to sleep).

Next day when you wake up, Upload a new avatar with .jpg format (not a requirement but preferably ) wait for it 5min's.

I tried to upload a new avatar in jpg format with various methods with no luck.
Then I changed my image to png and it worked.

So if you're having problems try switching between jpg, gif and png formats.

If anyone is in need of help on how to change the image formats, there are multiple ways.
A simple way is via GIMP (Image Manipulating Program).

Just Install GIMP, run it, open an image in it, and export the image in a different format.

Next day when you wake up, Upload a new avatar with .jpg format (not a requirement but preferably ) wait for it 5min's.

The problem is further compounded by the recycling of the URL assigned to an avatar image and the resulting interaction with ordinary browser-side caching. If you upload a .PNG file for your avatar, and then a few days later upload another .PNG file to replace it, the new avatar image will have exactly the same URL as the old one. Unless you clear your browser's cache, your browser will not catch the change for quite some time. This means you always have to clear your browser's cache before checking to see if a newly uploaded avatar has taken effect.

One Last note: Don't change your avatar too often, just stick with one avatar for more than 40days, Besides changing avatars frequently is a bad practice (at least that's what i think).

The first method worked for me but on the last step instead of getting
it back to the .jpg format leave it as the .png format :)

Only time. Though I'll tell you that jpeg or png will be the easiest and the ones that you can change the soonest. GIFs take a while.
