I added a new picture to my profile, but it wont show up as the icon next to my name in chat. Help?

[Caroline Tairov]

So I put up a new profile picture, but it wouldn't show up in that little icon next to my name in chats. (I use SLV2)

The icon still showed my old pic. So I went back to the picture and just removed my photo. That got rid of the old picture and put up the no picture icon. I relogged and then put up my new picture, but it only shows up in my profile, not in that icon next to my name, the icon shows the no picture icon!

 

If anyone understands what I just said (sorry I know its kinda confusing) and has dealt with this please help!

 

and please don't say oh you should use phoenix.... Because that's not what I'm asking.

Is there somewhere you can toggle those chat icons so they don`t show? Its been a while since I looked in v2 preferences, but if there is try toggling it off and on (clicking ok in beween) to see if it will force the icon to update.

Try relogging too if you haven`t already.

I"m having the same issue!  Its driving me nuts.

No one sees the new photo unless they actually bring up your profile, otherwise the old one always shows.

I've relogged and its even been a few days and nothing has caught up yet.  Is this a bug??

OK folks I figured it out. Apparently even though SL says you can use .jpg, .png, or .gif files they lied. I reformated my profile pic to a .png file and it uploaded in all the areas where it would appear. Even in the chat. So just change the format to .png and you should be all set.
