Two Weeks For Avatar To Be Updated

[JetsetBkk]

I just noticed my avatar has changed. I created it on the 29th June and uploaded it then.

I also uploaded it the day after IIRC as I thought there was a problem. I then forgot about it as it didn't change.

And now, more than two weeks later, it changes!

I know it can take a while to be updated but, really, two weeks?

It was quite topical at the time, but now I doubt many people realise what it is. Edited July 16, 2014 by JetsetBkk

FYI George et al:

 

I uploaded a new avatar (Blake's 7) on 2nd August.

 

It appeared as my avatar on this site on 9th August.

Your ISP is caching static content like avatars. Use Gravatar.com instead for instant update.

Aha, so this caching by the ISP is the reason why not all members see another member's avatar change at the same time.

Ok, thanks George. I'll give it a go!
