Character Name Won't Update

I transferred realms last week, but my forum avatar still shows my old server and guild. I’m trying to claim the new character on WCL, but can’t since they rely on updated forum info. Is there anything I can do to refresh the list?

Have you logged out on the forums then back in? Or maybe it’ll be after the servers reset on Tuesday.

Yeah I’ve tried that, and I’ve already seen a Tuesday since then.

Logout on your browser

Logout on your tbc character for at least 15 minutes

Login to the forums on a DIFFERENT browser

That worked for me in the past with this issue

If you use a private browser this corrects the issue as well. It’s really a browser cache issue keeping old data saved locally.

This type of issue should also be posted on the forum support section of the forums. This isn’t related to TBC General.

In fact I just checked there and it looks like someone posted about your same issue 25 days ago: Forum character not updating after server xfer

Feel free to chime in your scenario there.

Mine took like 2 weeks.
Once it did, I had to clear the cache in my browser. And I lost the post count and history.

Thanks guys, I’m all set now. Was definitely a browser cache issue :slight_smile: I was able to clear cookies for blizzard.com and that resolved everything. I thought it was a server-side thing.

Good point to whoever said this was a general issue not a TBC issue; I should have posted there.
