I cannot change my forum avatar. [Solved]

[Opolork]

Hi.
I uploaded an avatar and decided it didn't look good as a round avatar (I much prefer square avatars). I removed it and uploaded a new avatar. Every time I do this - the old avatar (which was removed) reappears.
Please can a mod resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi advocatux. That's the old one still.

@Opolork the one I'm seeing is like a V, not the Ubuntu Ireland one

That's odd. Even in a different Firefox profile, the old Ubuntu one shows.

@Opolork Sometimes it takes awhile for the change to occur. My advice is to delete the old avatar replace it with the new one on your system and leave it alone for a day or so and see what happens. Mine took over a week once then caught up.

@Opolork have you cleaned your browser cache?

I instead tried a different browser (Midori) - the Ubuntu avatar still shows there also.

Hi lakotaubp. Ok. I hope it doesnt take over a week though. :expressionless_face:

@Opolork sounds like a CDN cache problem then :thinking:

I'm seeing your avatar fine but I'm in Spain.

maybe the static content has a long cache policy. You could try to find infos in the NodeBB support forum.

Hi Florian. I think I'll just follow the advice of @lakotaubp and wait a while. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

I can still see the ubuntu logo

[Lakotaubp]

@Opolork Your a big V now

[Opolork]

Why would someone in Spain see the V avatar, yet I (in Ireland) cannot?

@flohack Do you also see the V avatar by my username?

[Lakotaubp]

@Opolork I'm not in Spain and I see the V

@Lakotaubp

I was referring to the earlier post by @advocatux - he's in Spain.

This is odd indeed.

@Opolork You might want to open the developer console in Firefox e.g. and look at the network logs:

As you can see I get a 304 Not Modified and to the right its marked as being sent from cache. Would be interesting to see yours.
