I keep trying to change my avatar but it continues to display the previous avatar i had. Any reasons why?

You might want to give it another try. I had the same problem, but it's working now.

I'm not sure, but I will pass a note along to one of the guys in blue and see what they say. I just tried to change it again, and it shows in my profile, but not in posts or PMs. I'll ask.

It's caching. We use Cache to speed up the forums. It takes some time for the cache to clear and show your new Avatar. I am not sure what Brian set the cache-time to, but it will change eventually.

Makes sense to me. I would imagine keeping the forums running as fast as they do takes some effort given all the threads, pics, videos, etc.
