Changing Your Profile Photo

August 23rd, 2010
I tried unsuccessfully to change my profile photo. I uploaded a new one and it uploaded to the settings page, but it did not change the profile photo on my home page. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

sometimes it takes awhile to show up....if i remember correctly :)
August 23rd, 2010
yes, it does take a while. It happened to me too a while back!

It takes "forever" and then there are inconsistencies for a while... where it seems to switch back and forth between the old and the new. Hang in there!

yup, same thing happened to me, sometimes the new one showed, sometimes the old one showed but after a week or so it sorted itself out

Ok. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. So I will wait and see if it pops up soon. Thanks

Your new one is up. Great pic!

I change mine almost daily & as everyone else has mentioned it does take a little time for it to change in every place. I will notice my pic changes first in the comment areas. The last place I see the change is on my project page. Sometimes when I view the profile pic larger it will be different than the thumbnail pic. Sometimes it updates faster if I change it & then sign out & back in. And sometimes it just takes awhile to update.

try to delete your photo first rick, then clear your cookies or delete them..... then open new browser, then upload new one.... =)

It's done. Just takes some time. Great photo!

There's no mystery: clear your temporary internet files, and you'll see it. Alternately just get to any page with your profile photo on it and, if you're on windows, hit it with a Ctrl+F5 to force it to reload the photo.

it takes a bit to show up...i noticed when i changed mine others could see it before i could.

Steve, you are a genius! It worked! I have Vista and can never find where to see my temp files so I just did the Ctrl+F5 and it worked just like that!! Thanks!

Oops, it did work, but my old picture is posting and my new picture is here when I type. Oh, well, tomorrow.

So, I did the Ctrl F5 on this page too and now I see the new picture. Thanks!
