I have a weird problem.
My avatar picture won't update. If I remove my old avatar and upload a new one, my old avatar always comes back? Any suggestion? |

You don't have an avatar setup. You have a picture in your profile (of a nice red 914), but not an avatar. In other words and to use IPB board software lingo as it appears in the controls section, you've setup a "Personal Photo" but not and "Avatar". Click the "Edit Avatar Settings" link and go from there.

I found a solution. I used the picture in my previous post (the URL of the picture) instead of uploading a picture from my computer. |

I am having the same issue exactly. The image that I want to use works fine in the Profile, but when I try to change my avatar it goes back to my old picture. Even when I remove the old image and try to add the new one the old image comes back.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks  |

Try clearing out your browser cache, the old picture is probably cached for you (which btw. has nothing to do with 914world). On most browsers, you clear the cache for a site by holding down the CTRL key while refreshing the page. |
