Custom Flags

I'm having problems changing my custom flag. I uploaded one when I first started playing, and that worked out okay -- but I can't seem to replace it with another one. I followed the instructions on the page and all, but my old flag is just too darned stubborn to be replaced :roll:

Some people have recommended checking / trying several things already; here are the results:

a. it's a jpg file, 107 x 71 pixels, size is 2K (or 4K, depending on which program I look with, but still below 6K).
b. no, the image is not inappropriate; it's just a rose :P
c. I tried to hit "reload" on my browser to see if the pic would change; I even restarted the browser, and logged out; and checked the nation's profile page when not logged in. No good.
d. I tried to alter my flag to one of the premade ones, and then saved the settings; I then tried to upload the new image and save the settings, but only got my old flag.

Here's the thing: I use Mozilla as my browser, and I'm thinking that may have soething to do with it. Could it? And if not, do you guys have any other suggestions? Pretty-please? :oops:

This happens sometimes, as I also use Mozilla, but it's not Mozilla. It may take a few days for the new flag to take hold. Give it 48 hours, and if it still doesn't work, post again. I've had this happen to me, and a few days usually fixes it.

<--- not a moderator.

Note: Perhaps, this, too, should be a sticky or announcement for nations (as it's been asked a lot lately).

I see a rose as your flag. Trying clearing your browser's cache; the problem is probably on your end.

It's probably a caching problem yeah, If you can set the browser to update the page everytime it loads, that may help

Yep, it was the cache. Thanks for the help! :D
