Icon/Avatar uploading

Recommended Posts

Okay so this might be a common or uncommon post .I just started an account here and I wanted upload a picture of my fursona and I'm having difficulty uploading on my profile page.I went to YOUR OPTIONS and PROFILE re-sized my icon and it said SETTINGS SAVED.I went to my page and my profile and the image isn't there,I even refreshed just like on FA's site but nothing comes I even used this site's icons I used the StarFox 2 Wolf icon <3 but nothing came up I also cleared my cache.If someone could I'd appreciate it really.I've noticed the avatars work on the forms but not the PROFILE.

That be because they forum avatar, and the pic that's shown in your profile are two different things. An easy fix however.

Your options>Profile>Change Photo.

Upload whatever avatar you desire to use on your profile page, and you're ready to go.

This is one of the consistencies in IPB. The profile pic and avatar are different, and are used in different places. A lot of places the profile pic is used I think the avatar should be used instead.

Luckily, IPB has realized that this confuses people and they will go to a unified single image in IPB 3.2, but that has not been released yet.

Thank you both I admit I was a little confused but I fixed it.

Mine took 12 hours to change for some reason, which isn't the first time this happened to me. And no it wasn't because I did the wrong picture type, (profile photo/avatar) I double checked. I don't know if it's my lousy-ass Hughes Net, or if it's something with the server. :/

Browser cache. Sometimes browsers don't reload images unless you force the reload or clear the cache.
