PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting → Two problems relating to Avatars
My first problem is, if I were to set my max avatar's dimensions to 130x130,
Punbb won't let me upload a 120x100 picture.
Second, when I actually try to change my avatar, I delete the old one and choose to upload a new one. But the old avatar just returns!
Second problem is probably your browser's cache - F5 (or CTRL + F5) should work.
The first one problem might be caused by too big (KB) image? Try to check whether you changed this value as well (since default is I believe 10KB, which is quite low)
ok, that works!
So i set the defaults, deleted my pic and logged out, cleared my cookies/cache junt in case,
loggin, set the max dim., and tried uploading again.....oddly enough it works now...?
Second problem is probably your browser's cache - F5 (or CTRL + F5) should work.
Is there any possibility to make it auto-reload the cache on that image when a new one is uploaded?
@kiejr: Nope, only if you disable your browser's whole cache (which is fairly bad idea, since you'd have to download whole site each time => it would take more time and bandwith) 
How do different forums manage it so the avatar refreshes as soon as a new one's been uploaded?
kiejr: Some of them use unique name for each avatar (=> avatar isn't cached), but this is another thing to save in db, so it isn't imo really nice way 
I'm thinking that solution might be adding META in the <head> (to profile.php), but I'm not precisely sure about how browser's cache work (for example if the avatar is already cached if it will load again...)
