Hi, I've been tryihng to cvhnage my national flag and even though the flag to upload is with in the limits (8kb; 107 x 60 and it's jpg) it's just not changing for me. I've tried a hard refresh, and I've done it more than once to confirm. but I just get a whit box saying National Flag for my custom flag. What am I doing wrong.

Cheers

From what I gather, the JPG either 1) is corrupt before uploading, or 2) was corrupted during upload.

It doesn't show here either.

If you use one of those dial-up services that promises to be "5 times faster!" than regular dial-up, they do that with server-side caching. Refresh all you want, but it won't change until the server decides to grab the updated version.

Wait a couple of days. Betcha it shows up.

No that's not it, using a good high speed connection with broadband uploading capacity.

I can send the jpg to other peopleand it is fine, so it must be the upload. any idea how to circumvent this?

Ditto here. And I have tried refreshing; tried changing to a default flag for a day, then uploading a new flag- same result= old uploaded flag.

I know that on firefox you need to go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache -> Clear to do a hard refresh. That's the only way I could get mine to work.
