Avatars do not change immediately

xen

After uploading the avatar works as follows -

Change avatar.
New avatar is uploaded.
Go to the profile page.

Oops, avatar is not changed (pay attention - header avatar has changed).
Refresh the page (F-5).

Now everything is fine...

The official website nodebb is no such this problem (but you use imgur).
I used the latest version of nodebb.

All plugins - standard.
From package.json

In the console writes the following errors:

Why nodebb works for me unfair?

? Offline

It could be a permission problem though.
Are you sure that nodeBB can read and write at these directories?

julian

This is just a browser cache issue, as the filename itself has not changed, so it is cached.

xen

@julian In that case, why the errors in the console?

julian

That'd be a different issue

<baris>

That error isn't critical, we try to delete the tmp files after upload and if they are already deleted then you get those logs.

@julian I've just stumbled upon the same issue.

I wanna get around it, what possibilities do I have, as our upcoming user-base will not be technically advanced and they'll blame the system.

Is there anywhere a timestamp of the last changed avatar? Or how can I use a Date.now() cache-buster inside the template?

I had a similar issue.

But the origin of the trouble seems to be the Nginx cache.
