Does anyone know how to change the avatar? Somehow I cannot change mine, it keeps being changed back.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@tgquan67 You are right, I changed my picture but now it won't change back

And now this is my PFP and I can't change it

[Rhavinstone]

I hope I m in the right spot for this. I just noticed I went to my library to download my copy of The Economics of Prophecy Vol 1 and both Volumes I bought( yeah I know vol 2 is in April) are not showing up. But when i looked under he title its says its there so I typed in the search bar and they popped up but not rest of my library.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@rhavinstone I am showing them both, have you tried logging out and or clearing your cache?

[Rahul Balaggan]

@xop

Thank you for the info!

However I assume it can't be easily fixed on the user side, this will probably by my PFP forever...

[jcochran]

@rahul-balaggan hopefully not. Many caches have a lifetime parameter. So it's likely the cache entry will eventually expire.

[Rahul Balaggan]

@jcochran

Many thanks for that info!

I will try to change it in a month or two back to my original PFP.

[jcochran]

@rahul-balaggan no. That wouldn't work. Change it now. Then when the cache expires and then gets refreshed, it will retrieve the image you've set. If you wait, then you'll still have to continue to wait until the cache's most recent copy expires.

In a nutshell, the cache adds an unpredictable delay between when you make a change and that change becoming visible.

@jcochran

Gotcha, I have changed the image back to my original picture, so at some point I will log in and it will randomly change back, I look forward to that day!

[chocolatkey]

@rahul-balaggan Purged your pic for you, as well as @tgquan67 . It is indeed cloudflare caching the images for a long time, in part due to what the JNC server tells it to do. I added a rule to override that, now profile pictures (only) are cached for a maximum of 2 hours by cloudflare. Tag me if this doesn't work

[Rahul Balaggan]

@chocolatkey

Thank you, but it still won’t let me change back.

[chocolatkey]

@rahul-balaggan Please clarify. You mean change your profile picture back to pikachu? And what's "wont't let me"?

[Rahul Balaggan]

@chocolatkey

When i go to edit on my profile and upload my old Pikachu picture it lets me crop the photo and upload it for my profile.

After that Pikachu appears as my profile picture, after I refresh the page it reverts back to this current picture of some random anime looking girl.

[chocolatkey]

@rahul-balaggan Yeah, this is all part of that same issue. When you upload and crop the picture, it's in your browser's memory, and you are uploading it. But when you refresh, it then loads the cached anime girl from the server. If you still see the anime girl, then it's just a matter of clearing your browser cache. Unfortunately, I cannot control the fact the JNC forum server tells your browser to cache the image for 5184000 seconds (which cloudflare was respecting and caching for that amout [theoretically] on their servers)

[Rahul Balaggan]

@chocolatkey

Thank you I cleared my history and my Pikachu picture has returned.

Many thanks!

[jcochran]

@chocolatkey 60 days!?!? Guess JNC really wanted to take care of the potential bandwidth savings that caching could provide.

[chocolatkey]

@jcochran I think when the server was set up Sam simply followed the instructions on the forum software's site, or a "recommended nginx config" site. A lot of those give you configurations that cache media for a long time. Normally, this is not that big of an issue because your browser clears it eventually anyway, but cloudflare takes it literally
