Title: Cant Change Avatar?
Post by: THP Creative on June 11, 2012, 23:16

Hey Leaf,

I have tried numerous times to change my avatar, and unless it's just a caching thing and it has changed at others end, I can't get it to change.

I just want to upload a new one.

Any thoughts?

I had a problem with this a month or two ago when I changed mine.

I think the way I finally worked around it was to change to one of the actor/musician avatars and then upload the new one. You might give that a try until Leaf can get it fixed

Ignore me! It just worked, not sure why.

Thanks jsnover, appreciate your suggestion though :)

I'm pretty sure it was a caching thing.  The site is run through cloudflare so all the static content (like images) is cached for a few hours.  It makes the site go a fair bit quicker but has it's drawbacks, like you mentioned.  Glad your image is showing up now.

Cheers leaf, cloudflare makes sense. Thanks for the quick response!
