Morning all. I’m aware there has been threads on the subject of profile pics before, but they’re all quite old and the advice/technology may have changed. I’ve had the same profile pic since I first registered to use CT years ago. At that time one had to use a desktop rather than a tablet to add a profile pic, so here I am sat with both desktop and iPad trying to give my profile a new spin by adding a different photo, and failing miserably.

I log in, go to CT, go to the CT profile page, select Edit and get taken straight to my main profile page (contact details, outfit details, bookings etc.). Even the Edit your details link on the main profile page doesn’t lead anywhere. I’ve tried several times on both devices to no

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I doing something wrong, or is the site just not working?

I have changed my profile picture on my PC and clicked on 'Save'. The photo has changed in my profile but not when I come to post anything. From comments above, it seems that emptying the cache may be the way forward but which cache and how do I do it on a PC?

It’s your Browser Cache. Not used CT on a PC for years but on my Apple devices using Safari I go into the browser menu and select history. It then gives me the option of clearing last hour, today, today and yesterday and all time. I would assume it similar on a PC. Clearing it will log you off, so you will need to log in again. Hopefully then you will see your new Avatar.

I have just cleared my cache and logged back on and your Avatar has changed from your badges to one of you, I presume. It is in the system just needs flushing out.👍

Click onto settings top right via 3 vertical dots. Choose privacy and then choose what you want to clear. The choice might be recent history, other things you might want to keep so don't tick every box!

Let me know if it works!. I have been trying for over a year now to put in a profile pic. Uploads ok, shows in profile, but doesn't stay there. (and yes I do click "save"). So I exit profile, with pic still there. Doesn't appear in my posting, go back to profile, pic has disappeared. I have cleared the cache on my pc numerous times. Makes no difference. I've given up.
