Avatar troub

When I go in to edit my avatar I erase the existing one then enter the info for the new pic in the browse thingy and push the update avatar button and with great anticipation wait for the new one to pop up and aaarrrgggg the old one shows up. Can somebody show me the error of my ways please

[Donna D.]

Bill, I don't even see an avatar under your name...old OR new If you're viewing "old info" it's typically because that particular file name is cached on YOUR computer. You need to delete the cache, that causes the computer to refresh with new info. SOMEtimes, refreshing whatever site you're viewing (in this case FiberglassRV) will reload that information.

Donna, I had to replace the hard drive in my computer about a month ago so it may not show any avatars, could that be possible, this summer I had a seagull on a post for one and went to my rig a couple of months ago, anyway let me try it again

[Bill MacDermod]

Donna this is the one I'm trying to replace and its the result of entering the new info. This is the one I was trying for

[Donna D.]

hummm, Bill I SEE your new avatar, if you're not seeing it...then it's definitely a cache problem.




Let me know if you continue to have problems....and also let me know what browser you're using

[Bill MacDermod]

Donna, your sharp as a tack, I was using Mozilla and should have known as I've had probs like this with them before. I went to my msn and VIOLA there it is thank U thank U

I see the trailer and truck. Is it suppose to be the map?

[Bill MacDermod]

come on now Lizbeth don't start trouble

[Lizbeth]

I didn't mean to....really.

[Donna D.]

Lizabeth, it's still a cache problem....only now on your PC...it's going to be the same for others....refresh the page through the browser controls, and/or delete the cache...or put up with it. Most people wouldn't notice any problems, it's only when one picture has been replace with another picture...with the same file name. The file name thing is the way the software works, not really a just-a-FiberglassRV problem. Other boards that use this brand of software have the same problem.

A little "off topic" here, but I MISS the old format where one could click onto someones avatar and it would open up a larger image...

[Bill MacDermod]

Donna, you gotta explain this one to me. On my MSN the new logo is up, on Mozilla the old logo comes up, awww nuts don't explain it to me as I won't understand it anyway. The other day when you mentioned cache I went to the bank and got some more $ and it still wouldn't download or upload or whatever its spose to do. I tried to change my logo on the Casita Forum and it wouldn't accept it from either Mozilla or MSN so Gene did it somehow. Crazy things, these puters
