I uploaded a mug of myself when I joined, and immediately decided that I want to change it, however, every time I select a new picture and save, the old picture remains.

I've tried different file types i.e jpg & png, I've also tried resizing the pictures to as little as 220 x 150, nothing works! My ugly mug remains as my avatar :/

I did, I tried logging out and in, it didn;t work

Eventually, the pic I uploaded became my avatar, it just took about 10 mins to do so after having been uploaded.

Images on the website can take a little while to update.

Just wait like 15 minutes and it should change.

1. There is no recommendations on photo scale
2. You didn't need to necro a year old thread.
