Anyone help explain this avatar discrepancy?

Yeah, just logged in & the avatar I want is in my profile, but a different old one shows up in my answers/questions. I deleted the image shown above weeks ago. Care to shed any light & possibly rectify this irritation?

Ucme, I’ve a feeling you’re not in Cumbria anymore.
Hrm. That’s weird. Try clearing your cache (history/footprints/cookies) and restarting your browser. See if the one you want is there then.
@Bellatrix Hmm, i’ve never been in Cumbria to start with, close though.
@augustlan Yeah, i’ll give it a whirl, thanks.
No, still no joy. Maybe it’s the pic, I dunno.
Err, like magic it returns!! Don’t know what the hell happened there, strange.
Ok, this is weird. I’ve been seeing your avatar exactly the same since you asked this question.
I see a policeman or something with Dorothy… hence my uurmm joke.
Maybe it was the mere threat of @johnpowell crafting a response that sparked it into life.
@augustlan Okay to be clear, when I logged in just now the avatar in my profile was of Dorothy & a riot cop. In my responses however I saw a US Open golf image, one which I deleted a few weeks ago.
I did as you suggested & no change, suddenly out of the blue all’s well! I hope you’re following this, because it’s more than I am ;¬}
@Bellatrix Oh I got the joke, only a geographical error on your part kind of spoiled the fun ;¬}
lol you are up there somewhere .. :-)
Think eastern coast & you’re there :¬)
All I can offer up is that the avatars don’t change immediately on old threads when a new avatar is posted. Considering the number of answers you have generated, it may take time.
Also try deleting all your custom avatars then re-upload the one you want.
@Pied_Pfeffer Yeah but it was fine earlier & then all went haywire. Slightly delayed reaction.
@XOIIO Done that fella, seems to be good again anyway. That’s the weird part though, the avatar I was seeing in my responses had been deleted weeks ago.
Yes,but how do I know it is really you asking the question? XD
What part of, “these aren’t the Droids you are looking for ” did you miss?
Auggie spoke and the force will be with you.
Clearly it is your Schizophrenia at play here. ;-)
Will you two buggers just stop now already?
Your making my heads hurt….“You okay now Dick? Good, just ignore them!”
The same thing happens to me once in a while when I change my avatar. It always seems to fix itself after a little while.
