So I'm trying to change my icon but it won't let me. I click delete icon, choose file, I then procedd to select the image I want, I click upload and nothing happens, it either reverts back to my current icon or stays as the ns default icon. Yes the image I am uploading is smaller than 8k and is 50 x 50 pixel wise so I have no idea what is happening..thanks for any help you guys can give me!

I've cleared my cache and taken all the steps to erase any previous record of having an icon, but when i try to change it to .jpg it reverts to the original .jpg i uploaded when i first made my account? then when i switch it back it reverts to this flashing NS. im just gonna have a mod do it.

if people are trying JPG and still haven't changed it to GIF, try that. it worked for me after a couple upload attempts.

Yeah GIF didn't work for me. If I try a .gif I get my stewie icon, when I use .jpg I get my current Icon.

hmmmmm strange. here is what i did:

step 1: change .JPG to .GIF
step 2: Change Member Icon > clicked Delete Icon
step 3: Browse for new icon (my new .gif)
step 4: clicked "Upload Icon" *new icon did not appear*
step 5: repeated steps 3 and 4 **WORKED**

frustrating that such a simple thing is so difficult. best of luck to you all.

mine still cycles through my last 3 icons and it's really annoying cause on of them is someone elses.

Delete cache. Clear icon. If icon is gif upload jpeg or the other way around.

I just launched a solution to the icon not changing immediately after uploading a new one.

That was the solution. Nuke all the icons, and the next one you upload will work!
