Cant upload a custom avatar

[Kilgore]

Finally decided to update my custom avatar photo, and cant seem to do it.

The upload capability is no longer on the profile page.

Is this capability gone and I am just behind the times??

Help!

1. I think you have to be a star member.

The avatar also has to be 48 x 48 pixels.

2. Got it, thanks!

3. I also cannot upload an avatar

I'm a star member and I resized my pic to 48x48 pixels...

4. Your current avatar appears to be a custom avatar.

Are you trying to upload a different one and it's not working?

5. There must be some kind of delay

I uploaded this one but kept seeing my old one for the next few minutes. It must have changed over some time after that...

6. I seem to remember there is - next time try hitting 'Ctrl+F5' to reload the page in your browser.

That might work, unless the delay is from DU not updating the image immediately to their multiple servers. In that case, if the upload process seemed to work, the image probably uploaded fine and you just need to wait a little while for it to show up in threads - there's nothing you can do about that.
