Avatar Trouble

Submitted by Bastet on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 15:39.
I'm having problems switching my avatar; whenever I browse and then choose an image (and I made sure it fitted the requirements: 85x85, less than 30 kb) before pressing "Submit", Malcolm's blurry picture remains. I tried deleting it first and then not, and I tried switching to one of the avatars on the site (which worked) before I uploaded a different one, but every time I tried to upload the picture would still be blurry Malcolm. Am I doing something wrong?

If you hold down the shift
Submitted by Lothere on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 20:43.If you hold down the shift key and refresh the page (if it is a page that has a forum or story comment with your avatar, that is), does that fix it? I refreshed the page and I can see your new avatar now. I think it's there; you just have the old one in your browser cache.
Nice choice by the way!
That is a fantastic avatar

Nope

Oh yeah I forgot that
Submitted by Lothere on Fri, 05/06/2011 - 14:52.Oh yeah I forgot that rendered pages get cached on the server for a few hours on the story side. Otherwise my miniscule wimpy server would be overloaded due to all the database queries every time someone viewed a page.
I uncached http://www.lothere.com/chapter/1349 so you can see that your new avatar is actually working on the story side. It will just take a few hours for any previously cached pages to be expire from cache and be reloaded. Sorry about that. :-/
(I really need a bigger server...)

Should work now. After you
Submitted by Lothere on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 20:02.Should work now. After you upload the image you may have to refresh the forum page to see the difference. And it could take some time before it propagates to the rest of the site.
WOOT! Thanks, Jen-Jen!
