The former sticky thread about site problems last May might still have cache bugs happening so please report your problems about old content from days or weeks ago getting restored in this thread.

Symptoms that staff need to investigate includes:

- Avatar is changed to one I had weeks ago (not related to the ghost bug that pulls the old sized avatars from 3+ years ago)
- Signature is changed to one I had weeks ago
- Profile settings such as changing it to private for a couple of days and then returning to public will change back to private settings infrequently
- Avatar gets reset to a default one or the default skin happens (when setting is set to dark theme)

Am I missing any other related problems for avatars and signatures, or profile caching problems?

For the second time, my avatar/sig got erased. The first was a few months ago. I was never modded so that's not it.

EDIT: Mine's back for now. I went to options to where we normally change our sings. I saw my sig there, so I hit apply changes or whatever and it came back. :D

If you are talking about putting an image in your signature, I don't think you can do that until you are level 3.

Is there any reason I can't delete my avatar/pic? It just keeps randomly coming back from the dead, sometimes the G logo shows, sometimes the actual pic I had up before I tried to delete it does...

Don't upload/ Go to a free image hosting site and paste the url in and hit submit instead.

Nothing I just kept trying it. Also like Dracula68 said its better to use an image hosting site. I use Imageshack. You dont even have to register. Just upload what you want and grab the url.

Thats what I meant by "URL" in my previous post. The hosted image url not a website url....sorry if I confused you :wink:

Auhh, well.. never mind! I see that is a normal act, it's solved.

Hey guys, I've a problem with my signature and the same is here in the forum message box.

If I want to make paragraphs in the message, it makes big spaces after paragraphs.

The space of ONE paragraph are such as you can see my paragraphs in this post. And it's the same with the Signature!

I tried to copy some phrases and pasted it in the signature. It worked only for the time I pasted it without doing big spaces after paragraphs, but it does big spaces after paragraphs anyway if I continue.

How can I solve that it doesn't make this big spaces after paragraphs anymore? Or is that just a normal act?

I hope you understand me, sorry for my bad english, 'still learing it^^'

I've tried to remove the link to BookMooch from my signature for days now, but the html code keeps respawning in the signature box under my Options, no matter how many times I click on the "apply changes" button. Even when the code is gone, the link is still in my signature.

I changed my avatar and sig yesterday, however when I post it stills shows the old ones.

When I check options both have been updated and the avatar next to the inbox and updates shows the new one.

Edit: Nevermind all is good

Have you tried using a free image hosting site and just pasting the url in and hitting submit instead of uploading?

Yes, like I always do.

For some reason, it shows up on my profile but on the forums it shows my old avatar.

If you want I can go and manually remove it. You then wait till it doesn't show on the forums and your profile. At that point you would upload the new one.

I just reached level 3, and it still does the same thing to me. Has the the requirement increased?

You are also a Fuse user, which seems to massively complicate everything. I am not really sure if a Fuse user can enter a signature that is entirely of their choosing. If you were not a Fuse user, I would suggest that it might just be a matter of waiting a few extra hours or perhaps another daily cycle for the new level to sink in to the system as far as getting the html in signatures permission going. That might still apply, but with the extra variables introduced by Fuse I just can't say.

After turning the WYSIWYG editor back on, I am now able to edit my signature. My issue has been resolved.

In case it answers your question, the signature I see for you at the moment is a Fuse beta signature. If you're thinking there is a delay, it would probably help to be more specific; how long a time - minutes, hours, days? Even when signatures have worked "well" in the past a delay of a few minutes was about as quick as it ever got. Remember also to clear your browser cache if you're going to do any checking.

You can manually update it too by pasting this link in your sig: http://image.gamespotcdn.com/gamespot/images/fuse/signatures/1/3/vexx_z3r0_Achievements.png? I see 430 and 23 for new numbers.
