Now somwthing even wierder happened. I cleared the cache on the browser and when I came back to the site I went to a forum I had posted to see if it worked, I didin't notice that I wasnt logged in but the strange part is that in the forum I appeared with the old pic (the robot). When I logged back in my new pic (the chess pieces) were back as my avatar but the same problem still remains...I can still see the robot if I scroll over my user.
I was in a forum today and I noticed something curious- I recently changed my avatar picture thingy and everything is groovy, but when I scroll over my name in a forum I can still see the old picture...how odd...has this ever happened to anyone before?
