While uploading your own avatar is a streight forward procedure - there is a situation where a 'replacement' might not appear to be quite so streight forward.

 

Should you ever decide to replace your avatar - you should follow this procedure:

1 - Delete your old avatar (not essential but probably best).

2 - Upload your new avatar.

3 - Save the changes (even though the thumbnail continues to show your 'old' avatar).

4 - Visit a thread you have posted in - and hold down SHIFT while you click REFRESH.

 

Those that do 'not' use avatars should also do a SHIFT/REFRESH to update their cache.
