Hm.

I hear that it currently takes up to 24 hours to change once you've set it to something new, though it might show up sooner.

Actually this is the first time I've set my avatar. Figured it appear right away.

Sadly, it does not. You've got one of the defaults, and thus have an avatar (in a manner of speaking).

Funny thing is, I do see my avatar in your message, in the quote next to my username

Yeah, that's a known quirk. The small avatars in replies apparently use a slightly different code than the normal ones.

Test post. This should be my X-mas avatar.

I like it, it's more Wile E and festive.

Weird. On my end, it shows up only in the quote. :-\

You have to wait a while for it to update.

When I changed mine it took a number of months to "go through".

You should be fine by Christmas 2017 though.

GOG never fixed the code to update the main avatars. By all appearances they update it via a script running against the forum database as a set interval. I.E. it will be there by sometime tomorrow.

Let's see how long this will take to change, especially during a big sale.
