On the Forums itself there’s a bug with the avatar icon where the icon doesn’t update even though my avatar was changed.
It’s as if it was permanently stuck on the old version of the avatar, no matter how many times I update my avatar.
Current avatar on Roblox:
Not Updated on Forums:
It’s just a simple bug and not an issue but might Aswell report it
Expected behavior
The Avatar icon on the Forums should update to the new current avatar on Roblox.

I dont think this is a bug, I assume the forum was made in a way where it updates when you log out and back in.
Personally I and a some others prefer it this way, that way we can have silly avatars on roblox, but less silly avatars here or something like that.
Simple solution, make it a option or something :D
PS if you didnt catch the part I said earlier, you can update your avatar by logging out and back in.
how is this a creator hub issue tho, #forum-help:forum-bugs exists
also like frodev said this is probably intentional
Oh, alright then I didn’t think of that, thanks Tho, I’ll try that later.
This is not a bug. Refer to this article:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/profile-picture-username-does-not-update/910572
Also for forum bugs you would need to go to #forum-help:forum-bugs either way
Yeah, I’ll close this topic then, thanks.
Thank you for the bug report, we are aware of this as a missing feature and it’s on our backlog. In the meantime I’ve closed this report.
please make it an option I don’t wanna be forced to always have my roblox avatar
Would be nice if there was a button for that, like a button to update the avatar or any other information without needing to log out so you could update whenever you want.
Note that you don’t have to log out of Roblox, just out and in of the forum.
For most people, this will be 2-3 clicks. This is not really impactful enough of a difference compared to 1 click to prioritize any 1 click solution like that.
If we do any work on this in the future, it will likely be to stop using Discourse’s image system and just pull the avatars directly from Roblox API instead, so there’s no need to sync.
