the ns website lets your computer store the icons on your computer so it doesnt have to download icons every time, but when you change your icon, your computer still uses the old one thats stored on your computer. Click refresh, if that doesnt work, clear your cache

I got problems with uploadin' a icon, even if my picture is smaller than 50x50 pixels it still can't be uploaded. it sucks, so can anybody help me out with this, or atleast got the same problem?
or does my pic really haveto be exactly 50x50 pixels?

i had trouble with this for a long time too.
all i did was change the format (jpeg to bmp) and it worked.
just switch it from one format to another and see if that does it for you.

here guys... after you upload the new one, it says deleting (your member number).gif or whatever. wait like 2 seconds, then click refresh. as simple as that.

I'm having the same exact problem. I see you have an icon now, so I guess you figured it out. I'm still not clear on what to do.
