MistyGypsy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 In My Controls it shows the new avatar that I want, but on forums the old lolcat 'word' picture is still showing. Thanks, Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirMarshall Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It's your browser not refreshing. Hit refresh, reboot your computer. If it doesn't show, hit refresh again, may take several tries at various points in CB. Took me 3 times last week. cheers, am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkthorn Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If you're using firefox, "clear private date" then "clear cache" should work also. I'm sure IE has a similar option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirMarshall Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Umm, yeah, Clear IE Cache, thanks for the pointer. the browsers store the avatar rather than having to download it every time you visit the site. clearing the cache forces a new load. a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistyGypsy Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Really? That's great, thanks. My controls still shows the 'word' cat. I'm a bit of a techno-idiot so need all the help I can get, thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Ooooh, pick me, pick me! Someone, I think maybe Susan, told me that if you hold down shift and then press f5, or maybe it was control + f5, but I think it was shift, then it will do a full refresh and fix it. It works for me every time and I got this problem too and it really confused me. I know you've already solved the problem in other ways, but in case anyone else reads this thread, that is an easier way. Also, I think there are two pictures - there's your personal picture which shows up on your profile and I think in your blog, and then your avatar which shows up on the boards, so if you want them both changed, you have to change them both. For instance, your blog and profile still have the cat, but your board avatar is the moon thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
