Ghost Avatars

[walkerguy]

Is it just me or is that shortly after you change your avatar your old one will sometimes pop up? Even if you had removed the old one before uploading the new one and refreshed the profile page? This happens to me every time I make edits. Explorer and Mozilla.

 

Note: In ghost mode my avatar is over-stretched vertically and my ghost personal picture is normal. The comments pictures are also ghosts when this happens.

 

I caught a picture of it:

 

 

Doesn't look very stretched there.

You need to refresh your browser after changing your avatar.

I see your avatar as that of the Halo guy lobbing a plasma grenade.

Thats the ghost.

What is it meant to be? Try re-uploading.

I think it's just you that need to refresh as well. I saw the old one until just now when I refreshed and then it was the new one.

 

I'm guessing the forum keeps the name of the image whenever we change avatars, and therefor it's still cached in the browser.

Your guess would be correct, and so someone who has not refreshed their cache(s) will still see the older images.

Hmm that's odd. In the past I saw avatar changes just fine though?

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Have you emptied your temporary Internet files recently? If not, try doing that.

[Humodour]

It's got nothing to do with my browser settings; they are the same as they've always been for the last few years.

[Deadly_Nightshade]

That is not a browser setting, that is a actual file that can get overly-full on occasion.

[Humodour]

Oh? Defined by what? It's obviously a stack kind of deal - things get bumped off from time to time, so why wouldn't it just do that? Further, why have newer images updated when walkerguy's didn't?

It took a few days for mine to change. I had the old image with the new image dimensions, but when I would go to my Avatar Settings, my new image would sit there perfectly.

 

 

Mine works perfectly now though.

Thanks DAWUSS - is anyone else experiencing this issue?
