@moke123 Are you using Chrome? Go to this thread, open develop console, right mouse click on reload, choose Empty cache and hard reload. It sets the avatar in the thread to the same as your profile.

looks like that worked. lets hope it sticks this time.

@Tera That is incredible! I wish I could do that. I need 8 hours per night and an extra half hour to get to sleep! You have 5 hours per day more waking time than me.

i tend not to believe you Jon. it seems like you're posting around here all the time, night or day.

Just to say I am making progress on multiple fronts, regarding the extra site functionality, caching and so on. I keep the Forum Roadmap sticky up-to-date with a current status for the things I am working on, if anybody is interested.

@Jon
It didnt stick.
Came home and my avatar was messed up. It had large white area around it.
I've cleared cache, etc. I re-uploaded and the yellow avatar came back.

heres a screenshot of what I'm looking at now.



Now I just went to a post to see what was showing and now the avatar to the right is now the yellow one.



Both pics were screenshot while doing this post. I've run out of things to try.

Could be the CDN that caches images for 12 hours.

 

[moke123]

Does that have to do with the map you showed us? I remember there were a lot of locations East Coast USA.
I'm deleting it and I'll wait till tommorrow to try again.

 

[Jon]

Yes. They cache images for 12 hours. Good idea to delete and test again, as you are doing.

 

[Jon]

Hopefully, today I intend on adding some more site functionality. So, I will have to periodically close the board, but it will only be for short periods.

 

[Jon]

Next, I hope to have new and improved search. Working on it now.

I just posted a link and it didn't underline it. Could you set the theme to do that?

 

[Jon]

I could but I prefer no underlines, as was the designers choice.

You could put the under line in yourself like > Yahoo I kinda like the new look Yahoo

I've just tweaked the Latest Posts widget to show the last 7 posts, up from 5. Currently thinking about wiping out the Staff online widget. Whilst it looks good, I am not sure it helps users much.

 

[Jon]

I'm testing caching again today, so if things go a bit funny, you know its because I'm no good at this tech stuff!

 

[moke123]

@Jon
Still cant get the avatar right. I waited over 12 hrs. Tried it again and it reverted back to the original avatar.
Just tried again and still the original avatar shows up

 

[Jon]

That is odd. I've no idea what is causing that. All I can suggest is that eventually some kind of cache will clear itself. (I hope.)

 

[Jon]

It looks like this caching thing has defeated me. I've spent all day on it, made little progress, and now feel guilty from not having much output for the day. I've found a guy in London who has 15 years experience in Linux Administration and I will possibly pay for some consultation with them, and to get them to do some work. Otherwise, I will be stuck in quicksand forever.

Do the avatars have to all be round?

Do the avatars have to all be round?

It would appear so, I'm slightly disappointed I can't make mine transparent background?
