Changing Avatar

So I tend to change my avatar a lot however it does not seem to be working out very well.

Right now I see a black and white photo of myself as my "large avatar". I see a color photo of myself making a goofy pose in my "little avatar"

I recently uploaded a new avatar which I could see in the "My Account" section but which never appeared next to any of my posts.

So this time around I chose to "Delete Avatar" before uploading a new one.

I uploaded a new picture and voila! Things seemed to be fine.

But lo and behold as I type this very message the "deleted" avatar is next to my name, the teeny weeny avatar is still me in blue and the spiffy new avatar is only visible in tiny form on the wire of my "My Account" page.

Anyone else having issues?

EDIT: NOW my avatar is something totally different!! A while back I uploaded a picture of my daughter dressed as Sailor Moon and it never worked, I never saw it beyond the upload phase... now that one is my main avatar and the black and white pic is my teeny weeny avatar!

I am so confused.

OS: Windows Vista
Browser: Checked with both Firefox and IE, I generally use Firefox

Yeah it seems a bit random. I stopped trying for now.

Yeah, I just changed my facebook picture (which seems to be the only one that'll link up).

It was the only way to get my awesome wii-sports extreme shot onto the forums.

I thought that as well. Mine keeps changing. I have not done anything for hours and I have had two different big avatars and two different teeny weeny guys. None of which are my new avatar.

I have also experienced this, the main problem I have had though is with the sizing of the avatar randomly becoming huge.

I've noticed you get a big avatar when you create a new thread. Dunno about the other weirdness.

I hope they change that as well, the big avatar is really pow in your face kind of big.

Well I was wrong. I now have 3 different avatars, and I see Katherine's 3 different avatars now as well.
