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.

Thank you pum for posting this. You are correct in how it should be done to see the new replacement avatar.

 

 

Thanks!!!!

This is crazy, why are we the consumers/community members expected too devise all these workarounds, instead of just fixing the site so that when a person uploads an avatar it updates the avatar?

I don't think this is a Renderosity specific issue, BDC.

Browser failure to display the latest update to a website (due to cache) is very common.

It's definately a browser issue and not a problem with the website. You can also see updates by clearing the cache and sometimes just closing your browser and reopening it will do that if refresh doesn't work.
