I just changed my profile pic to a new one, but my old one is still showing on the forums. D: Is this only happening to me? What is happening? Thanks!

It takes a while for it to update. Check back later.
I updated it about 24 hours ago though.

Also please note that your profile picture should not be a picture of a celebrity, as most of these photos are copyrighted and using them is a no-no, and our User Image policy states that if it is a picture of someone, it should be of yourself. Any violations might result in your profile picture being removed by an admin.
Have a look at the policy: http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:User-Image-Policy
But, that means when I update it, it will still show up as Taylor Swift on the forums.

The forum picture will eventually update to whatever it is on the main site. So, once you change it to one that is within policy, it will update here.
Just give it a few hours. It may take longer, who knows. But the main thing is to make sure you are using an acceptable picture.
Okay thanks! Can you please close this?

I haven’t tried it, but from what I’ve heard from others, logging all the way out of wikiHow and then back into wikiHow (and the forums) can help speed it up, too. Worth a shot! But like Jeff said, time will do the trick, too, if logging out and in doesn’t.
