root@Avatar upload problems


I find that I can't change my avatar image with any certainty. I can delete it, which makes it stop showing up, but if I upload another picture, all that happens is my old picture shows up. I've changed my avatar a few times, but I can't figure out what makes it decide to actually change. Any ideas what's causing this?

Hm. No reasons off the top of my head no, but it may be a file permission problem - I'll take a look.

Does drupal have a periodic update such that any changes I make wouldn't take hold until then? I seem to remember there being something like that on the database.

It does have hook_cron, but avatar changes aren't part of that - they should be instant. More likely, the permission to modify the file is messed up. Alternatively, your browser may be hanging onto a cached version of the file but that's pretty rare for this sort of error description.
