profile pic/avatar issue

[Shirin.]

Ok, so I know when you change your profile pic it is supposed to change your avatar to that image as well. I changed my profile pic yesterday, and it shows, but the avatar did not change. What gives?

I'm seeing you in a headband & red gloves/sleeves, resting your chin in your hands. Is that what I'm supposed to see?

refresh your browser, otherwise it uses the 'in cache' avatar (the old one) instead of the new one.

I wish I could make mine bigger!

[mekyria]

Zummarad, what dimensions did you use? You could zoom in on your face and make the avatar square to make it fit the 60x60

[mekyria]

Zumarrad, how about a smaller part of teh picture, like this? You can upload a 120x120 avatar, but in the forum it appears as a 60x60 avatar.

Ooh, that looks nice! I should resize a decent picture of myself instead of that fuzzy thing I'm using....

Great, thanks Mekyria! It worked :)

Oooh, that's great! How do I copy that?

Seems like you already figured it out. For other bhuzzers wondering:
-right click on image, choose 'save picture'
-then go to your userpic page, and search for the picture you just saved.

If anyone else needs resizing, post your picture and I'll be happy to post an avatar-sized version

I did! Thanks, it's much better now.
