Had a weird issue trying to update (replace) an existing avatar.

It picked up the new width and height I entered, but it kept the old JPEG. I entered a new image in the upload filename box (using the browse button) but it didn't seem to upload the new image.

Got around it by using the URL instead, and putting the new JPEG on my web server.

Same thing happened to me, but when I came back and logged on the avatar was switched to the new one.

this is prolly a browser issue...
the avatar image is called av-##.jpg (or .gif)

the ## stands for your member number
Geoff i.e. is member #24 and his avatar is called av-24.jpg

Now, if you upload a new avatar. That pic will have the same file name as the old avatar
Your browser reads the same filename for the pic and shows you the cached pic instead of reloading your new one

Cheers,

If that's the case, Shift+Reload should cure that. Worst case, you can dunp cache and reload.

None of the above.

Look right below the area where you set the size.

There is a checkbox that says: Dont use the current avatar. Hit this first and THEN upload your new avatar.

I had to do this last night.
