Profile Pic Problem

Post by Infinity Squared » Thu Oct 06, 2005 3:25 am

I don't know if this happens with everyone... but I've recently gotten tired of the picture I have for my account. So I decided to go ahead and change it. The picture that I wanted to replace is about 320x442 pixels. The picture I wanted to replace it with was about 300x250 pixels.

Now this is what I do.

(1) I first go to "Edit My Profile"

(2) I wait and then when it's finished loading, I tick the square saying "delete picture". After which, I click "Update" and the page moves on to My Profile except of course without the picture anymore. So far so good.

(3) I then go back to "Edit My Profile" and of course there now appears a text box there with a "browse" button next to it, which is where I click next and looked for the 300x250 pixel picture I want to upload. And then I click "Update"

The problem happens here. A picture does appear, except it's my old one. It's like it forgot it has already deleted that picture from the last time. Also, the picture that appears, though it's the same 320x442 pixel image, the size is only 300x250 pixels.

I don't know what's going on and I this happend about a week ago. I tried it again today and same result. The only way for me to have a pic that didn't look messed up was to keep the picture I have now back up.

Hey,

It could be that the image is cached in your browser but updated on the server. On your profile view page, hold down shift and hit the refresh button on your browser. That should force-reload the page. Hopefully that will fix your display issue.
