user pic updating?

Post by andru_911 »

just wondering...don't know if it's been brought up before or not...
when i click on a contact who had recently changed their user pic why does the message view load the old one? could it be that it's just a problem with the message view? i have to open a chat twice before it will load the new user pic. just so you know my contacts are majority msn and my message view is big icons. is there any way to fix this? or will it not be a problem in .8? if not i can't wait :D

Yeah, Buddy Icons take a while to load…

And if you start a chat before then, the buddy icon will stay in the message view as the default

Yep. the icon's in a header, so it won't update as it's never actually reloaded. Unfortunately there's no way I can think of to have the icon update and the style still do what it does.

Just close and reopen the window.
