I went to my account settings and clicked to upload a new avatar picture, but when I hit save changes, I still had the old one.

After several tries, I changed to no avatar, then back to having one again and uploaded the new one, and I still had the old one.

Anything special I need to do?

See the 'profile pic' thread in the Cafe....
It was mentioned that you may have to force a reload after changing to bypass your browser's cache.

The OP in that thread has not responded yet as to whether he was able to add his avatar correctly.

And remember this;

Image must be - JPG or PNG. Size: at most 4 KB, 100x100 pixels

That may be my problem. My current one exceeds those figures, but not by as much as the new one I'm trying to use.

Actually, I just posted about this in NC.

I tried to change my pic and it wouldn't take.

I posted the same pic as a new avatar at Beta and it worked, but I didn't have one there before.

The pic I am seeing here now is new.......

Oh, it did work. I guess my problem was a stupidly persistent cache.

Yeah, that was it. I didn't expect it to be *that* persistent.

[edit]
This was in response to Mark's suggestion about my cache.
