Hi.
Having successfully selected my new Avatar picture (100x100 pixels) and 42kb, it appears to have replaced the old one after I click āUpdateā . . . . the only way out of that page is to click āBackā which then returns my Avatar to the previous one.
I canāt see a āSaveā option and I canāt get the update to stick.
What am I doing wrong please?
Thanks
Youāre not doing anything wrong. When you see that the avatar has changed then just get out of the poorly scripted page. I just close the tab. You will probably need to clear out the cache in your browser and refresh the page afterwards

I had the same issue the other day and found this.Ā Ā https://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/yaf_postst67343_Avatarāhow-to-load-yours.aspxĀ Ā Ā Ā last post by R666
Followed the instruction and it worked.
Thanks.
Iāve done all that, several times - even left the PC turned on all night on that said, but this morning, still no change.
How can this be so hard?
I wrote those instructions 6 years ago
Ā . . . and as though by magic, my Avatar has changed, three hours after it displayed to me that it didnāt (And apparently wouldnāt)
Technology, eh?Ā Ā
It almost certainly changed immediately, but it took a while for your browser to refresh the cache and for the new avatar to show. In all probability if youād visited the site straight away via another browser it would have shown your new one. Glad itās showing for you now. 
Nope.
I tried it from my mobile (after changing the Avatar, on the PC) and still no change, even after an hour or so of giving up on the PC.
Appreciate the thought but it wasnāt the case,
Was your mobile on the same network/WiFi as your PC? That can happen too. EE/Orange used to be a bugger for it - trying to update web site graphics and the damned server wouldnāt update its cache eitherā¦Ā
No.
PC is on a wired LAN connection to a Sky Fibre
My mobile is on data network (not wifi) with Voda
Must have been magic thenā¦
Indeed
Iām unable to post an avatar, the instruction page is all blurred and Iām unable to see what I need to do.
Just logon and click on āmy profileā and select the option āmodify avatarā. From there you can upload a photo. Itās a long time since I changed mine but think it takes a few mins to show the new version.
Iām not expecting that Avatars will migrate to the new forum so you may get 24 - 36 hours out of any change you make nowā¦
No, I donāt see an option to āupdate avatarā
Please have a look at Geoffās subsequent post and try again.
The Forum will be taken offline prior to transfer to the new platform sometime today. I am surprised that any posting is possible today but it seems we are trying to synchronise with B r4x 1t
IanH has indicated that Avatars will not be moved to the new forum platform, scheduled to go live on 3/2/20, so I suggest you leave avatar introduction/update until after the new forum fires up.Ā Ā Ā
