Hi, I recently joined the Stardock and Servo forums and today I tried to update my avatar which appears on forum posts. I uploaded an image to the Account section (100x100) and although the image shows when I click on Profile, it does not show on my forum posts. Do I need a certain number of posts before custom avatars are unlocked for my account? Do I need to give it a few hours to publish to my profile? Any help would be appreciated.
give it some time to take effect.
Forums are slow to respond to changes.
edit: see thread was already replied to
Well, looks like my avatar finally updated after 30 minutes to an hour.
The email servers aren't related to the forum servers are they? Steam key posted under My Account around noon yesterday but didn't receive the email for another 3 hours.
With all of Stardock's separate sites having interlinked Forums [some shared across many sites] it can take some time for database caches to catch up with things like newly posted Avatars...

Emails don't go all out at once. They are a process that goes out over the span of a few hours in most cases.
Sheesh... I finally set an avatar and then it doesn't show up. At least I found this thread so I know I'm not (completely) crazy.
Except I set mine this morning and it still isn't there, at least on old posts - which would be odd if the post kept a copy of the avatar-at-the-time. Still seems like a long time.. <shrug>
I think the last time I changed my avatar it took a couple hours to show on the forum I was using, and maybe a full day for the new avatar to show on old posts on a different Stardock forum.
Many old post are locked. The avatar won't show on locked post.
