I had the same problem. The answer is to use the opposite type of image file that you used last time. for example if your old pic is a JPEG file then use a PNG file instead.

No.

The problem is that your old picture is still cached in the browser. Restart the browser, and that should do it. If that doesn't work, clear the cache.

Hmm funny that's what always worked for me.

It works because the file extension changes, so the browser recognizes that you want to display a different image. Mcoov is correct though, refresh and/or clear your cache to see the new avatar. Of course, everyone else will see your old avatar until they do the same. Most browsers do it fairly regularly by default.
