When a user decides to change their avatar they will not see the change unless they clear their cache.

The problem is that users dont know anything about clearing cache so they just assume that the change did not work. Is their a way around this? Perhaps using a random file name so that the browser knows that it is a completly new image.

Also, when you want to change your avatar and you click the delete image check box and then upload a new image, when you submit your changes it will delete your image but not upload the new one, you are forced to do it again. Why cant it do both things at once? Its not very user friendly

Wow. I'm having the identical issue. Users dont see the newly uploaded avatar when they edit their avatars. When you click on the delete button and specify a new avatar all it does is delete. Almost a year on have you guys found a fix?

Thanks in advance,
H
