Profile picture HELP PLEASE.

MockedUnicorn · 07-24-2008, 08:17 PM

Everytime i add a picture, its the same one. Even after i delete my old one. The same picture gets loaded. Its crazy! I even deleted the pic from my computer, so it didnt accidentally get loaded. I loaded a COMPLETELY different one and when the page refreshed, it was the OLD pic!!!!

IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

hi,

did you refresh after you uploaded the new pic?

MockedUnicorn · 07-25-2008, 01:31 PM

MockedUnicorn · 07-25-2008, 01:51 PM

Yeah...It isnt working, so i guess i will just leave this stupid looking one as my pic. lol. Thanks for the help though.

When I change my picture I then click on my name to view my profile and then I hit refresh at the top of the browser and the picture seems to pop up. Try that.

it took mine ages to show up yesterday...I had given up, then the next time I logged in I discovered I had changed into Mr Incredible overnight!

Scared the crap out of mum in law, I can tell you...LOL

its down to your browsers memory, (i've explained this before) you need to log out after you change the pic, close thoughts, open it again find yourself without logging in then you should see your new pic,even if you can't see your new pic we probably can hon, its madness i know lol but i'm pretty sure it is something to do with different browsers and their page histories etc

when i was on aol it took days to see my new pic, now i'm using plain old, basic internet explorer it changes instantly, just assume its worked the first time you do it and it will eventually show up, just come to the forums and ask people to describe your pic to you, then you may be suprised that its changed and you cant tell

true, missmarie....

we've also noticed a trend with aol users having more issues, particularly w/ being "timed-out"... also old versions of mozilla cause some text editor problems...

I was having the same problem but the refreshing afterwards worked. Thank you!
