I see a peace bird (forgot its name) white pidgeon. If this is your new one, and you don't see it, try pressing Ctrl+F5

It forces your browser to reload the page and all the images. You were seeing a cached version of your avatar before.

RE: Problems changing avatar
It reloads the page without using the cache. In the cache, files (mostly images) are stored to load pages faster: it's faster to load from the hard drive than from a web server.

When a picture changes, the old one in the cache doesn't change and this one will normally be used. When you use Ctrl+F5, it will always load all files from the web server: may be slower, but the correct images will be shown.

The uploaded avatar caching problem is now fixed. Hopefully nobody else will complain that their avatar doesn't change... :p
