Subject: Jason, I want to change my "Name" to Scott but it keeps going back to "ag". Also, I can't seem to delete my avatar and put in a new one. Posted Sun Sep 16, 2007 at 07:32:18 pm EDT (Viewed 381 times) | |

anime.mangacool.net (10.0.255.1) using Apple Safari 3.0.3 on MacOS X (0 points) When you change your name you'll now be sent back to the main page.  This works around a bug where the old name is shown on the form because of caching issues. Go back to the Profile and change your Display Name.  That's the one that shows up in your posts.  Sadly because of a limitation on the way posting names work, your name on older posts won't change (I might fix that someday). Avatars have now been fixed. | ||

Huh? > Go back to the Profile and change your Display Name. That's the one that shows up in your posts. Thats what I'm trying to change! It remains at "ag".
> Nope, it's a red x in my profile and I can't delete and upload a new one. Still broke. Scott

anime.mangacool.net (10.0.255.1) using Apple Safari 3.0.3 on MacOS X (0.25 points) Internet Explorer very persistently caches pages, deciding that it knows better even if the page is so much different.  As long as the page has the same URL, it will cache it.  The only way around it is to go ahead and change your name and upload a new avatar, and then click Save, and then empty your browser cache, close and reopen IE. I'm still investigating a way around that, but it's looking like it'll be complicated because IE also ignores the "no-cache" instruction.  That means I have to find a way to make the page URL change each time it's loaded. Another unforseen problem this probably causes is with edited posts.  I'm pretty certain IE people are not seeing changes to edited posts because of this. | ||

I'm starting to get really tired. I don't have these problems anywhere else. Maybe posting here just isn't worth it anymore. Scott
