Avatar woes

[canuckamuck]

I switched my avatar for Christmas, and now I want to switch it back but it won't let me.

I have tried for a couple of days, on three different browsers. And interstingly different browsers choose different images to display.

I have uploaded here what Firefox sees when I go to change my photo. Photo and avatar are they same thing right?

The non Christmas version is the one I want, but when I get back to the forum, the Christmas one is the only one that comes up. No matter how many times I try.

I have also tried uploading a hosted image, but it has not worked either.

Looks right to me.

Looks right to me.

Are you seeing the Christmas image as my avatar beside my post, or are you seeing the non Christmas version?

Non Christmas

Yes, you are there with all your hansumness and bowler.....

[WitawatWatawit]

Yes, please change your avatar. All of them.

But never fear, it will work eventually. I decided to change mine and it is now perfect.

Op, tried clearing out your cache?

Seeing this:

I have found it can take a week or two to work through the system. It has never been instantaneous in my experience but it does happen given enough time.

Thanks guys, all I can see is the Christmas version by my posts, but if it's working for you guys, that's good enough.

ISP caching in Thailand is not optimized for short TTL (time to live) but for keeping cached data for long periods to reduce their international bandwidth. As such, it can take anywhere from several minutes to 2-3 weeks before the cache is cleared and you to see the updated avatar. Also try CTRL+F5. That reloads the page bypassing your local cache. If no change than you will just have to wait.

Neither ctrl/F5 nor clearing the cache work for Firefox in the UK (cable ISP).
