OK, when I upload (in 'edit account') a new pic of my desktop, sometimes it will actually change it and sometimes not... however, the only way for me to view it is by clicking on it to see the 'close up'.
In other words, what is displayed prior to any upload is what always remains, which is an old pic from weeks ago and the only way to see if it changed is to click the close up.
If that's not strange enough, when I click on my name here in the message boards it shows yet another picture.
Yrag, if your're around... I also did what you suggested and 'deleted desktop' and when I went back hours later to upload a pic., it restored the one I had deleted hours earlier.... at least that is what I see unless I go in for the close up. And as I said I'm still seeing something else here on the boards.
I don't know if I should laugh or cry!
