New and Old Avatar show
-
I know it can take some time for a new avatar to replace the old, but it’s been over a month.
Sometimes my new avatar appears, sometimes it’s the old one. Numerous times, I’ve cleaned out the cookie jar and uploaded the new avatar. Still- no change. Any suggestions or ideas? They would be much appreciated.*presses posts and wonders if Ryan will appear or not*

Is Ryan a cat?
Check your profile and make sure the url of your blog is entered in the appropriate box. Often, it’s left blank.
You’ve cleared cookies, have you cleared your cache? (I imagine over the course of a month this a moot point but…)
Keep in mind that avatar changes take a while to show up and will appear first here in the forums then propagate through out the system. There’s a special theread to test them:

having the same problem too. Updated the avatar in the profile about a week ago, and it shows up in my comments under the posts, but in my sidebar, the old one (black&white) is still there. And in the forums the old one is still hanging around as well. what gives?

I also started this forum thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=20149&page&replies=8
and the new one showed up. Now it’s back to the old.

Sorry – I think this could be a server / cache issue. Nothing to be worried about, just annoying when it happens. I’ll mention it to the others.

Still happening, and here’s the latest example:
On this guy’s blog http://refrigeratorlogic.wordpress.com/ a “latest comment” the sidebar has the old avatar (b&w photo) if you are visiting the blog by clicking on the blog name, not an individual post.
But after I commented on a post, the new avatar (colour photo) showed up – both in the comments and on the sidebar. I don’t get it.

It’s chaos. I now have the old avatar showing up on the forums, but only a few hours ago the new one was up. I don’t get it.

It seems caching of images on WP.com is a long-standing problem. A photo I deleted continued to show up by direct link for a couple of months.

my avatar… it’s playing hide and seek. showing up on some blogs and some blogs not. Oh, what should I do?
I want it back. ;(

I guess tech is still working on it. I appreciate support responding though. On the 15th, I received an email: “Sorry for the avatar issue – someone is checking into this.”
*Dice roll* stupid graphic or the preferred kitty?

Exact same thing here. How long has it been now? At least a couple of months from what some are saying here.
Hey, WordPress People, can we get this fixed already? It’s terribly annoying!
-

Yep! That too. My face or a landscape avatar. Very annoying.
-
I don’t want to jinx myself, but I changed my avatar yesterday in my blog profile and it’s showing up everywhere I’ve posted. I’m using FF and clear the cache daily.
@Lottie-I see what you mean on your blog. Maybe try removing the Recent Comments widget, saving the changes and then readding the widget?
