Avatar won't change

I'm trying to change my avatar from this:
http://i50.tinypic.com/241qjpe.png
to this:
http://i48.tinypic.com/2n8rhj8.png
but it's stuck on the old one.
Why is it not changing? It used to work for me before.

And yes, I refreshed the page, cleared browsing history, and nothing happens.

I'm using windows to use it. It's in PNG format.

Re: Avatar won't change

When you tried, some functions weren't working. I guess this is one of them.

Re: Avatar won't change

Try the following steps:
1. Try doing it again
2. If that fails, try checking if it was a damaged file
3. If that fails, try restarting your PC
4. If that fails, try waiting for a week
5. If that fails, try emailing the Scratch Team

Re: Avatar won't change

I originally wrote a topic about this problem, but I deleted it almost immediately because I later saw this topic. Stupid me! I forgot to check if the problem was already reported. I'll just post my topic post here.

The topic post:

Whenever I try to update, I get taken to the page http://scratch.mit.edu/users/updatepic/90500, but it's just blank, completely white. Nothing happens. I exit and come back to my stuff, but nothing's changed.

I've tried different formats (you know, bmps, PNGs, whatever), and it doesn't matter.

It is not about using a too large file. I've tried large files and gotten the message "File too large for upload" (or something along those lines, I can't remember).

Is this a problem with the new server, or what?

And the server is done, right? There isn't that message anymore saying that some functions are disabled.

Re: Avatar won't change

I was going to say the same as Jonathanpb. They are updating the server, so the redirect of the update page doesn't work.


Hai.

Re: Avatar won't change

I had a similar problem. I wanted to change my avatar to a spore-made creature, and it didn't change. Maybe Scratch discards certain files...

Maybe it's the new server?
