Hi,

Since I rejoined SETI yesterday, I wanted to change my avatar.
In personal preferences you can read this :

Use this uploaded avatar: then a box with choose file.
The pic I want uploaded is on my PC. Also, the size of
the pic is not bigger than 4 kb.

When I choose a pic to upload and the click "update", nothing changes.

Anyone who knows how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance for any reaction!

No 80X80 jpg-file (jpg is also mentioned as a usable format)

Or does it have to be exact 100 X 100 ?
If I do that, it exceeds the 4kb maximum....

This is a side-effect of your browser caching the pages. Try to force your browser to renew the cache. CTRL + F5 on Firefox, CTRL + SHIFT + F5 in Internet Explorer.

Just to make sure, the avatar you want to load, is that this one?


Oh wait a moment, you use a gravatar at this moment, so in order to get a new avatar, you may have to change it at gravatar.

I tried both, uploading from my own PC and using Gravatar, but nothing....

The one you see now is a standard Gravatar pic

If you're blocking scripts on web pages (with NoScript for instance), allow this site through. Also allow Javascript to be executed.

And if that doesn't work, it may be a broken forum software.

That means the old version was sitting in the cache on your computer or in the cache in some server along the way.
