site avatars
I uploaded a new avatar today, but my old one is still appearing next to new posts (well it is for me anyway). The new one appears when I go to my account. What have I cocked up?
Probably a matter of the new one not having yet replicated to all our servers, or some local caching. It'll get there – give it time...
Jinx. Again.
Fair enough John/Andrew, thanks for the responses.
Don't hold you breath Major, mine's had a mind of its own for weeks! 
Funny thing is, I deleted the old avatar the other day to give the servers chance to clear, and it disappeared instantly, from both my 'My Account' profile and my posts. So today I uploaded a new one, yet my new posts appear with my old avatar. Go figure.
The curious thing is when I change my avatar it doesn’t change when I view the site on my PC, but when I access the site through Opera Mini on my mobile it has.
Ghosts in the machine?

Nothing. various levels of cacheing (which are actually applied inconsistently across some pages, stupidly) mean that it can take a while (sometimes even up to a few days) for images to be refreshed in our CDN correctly. Give it time.
