How is posible to change my old avatar / profile picture ?
I searching for this 2 hours, and cannot find any solution.
On the settings page is no form for uploading new avatar - there is nothing about avatars !
If you look at the right top corner, there is my old avatar, which is cannot be deleted, upgraded, or something.
There is no settings to edit this profile information. I dont understand, whats wrong here.
I want to delete or change this picture to a normal face photo avatar, but i cant find any way to do this.
It makes me angry at long time seraching for it. :(

On the setting page is a link to Google accounts setting - but in google account i dont have any profile picture, and i dont want to edit my Google+ profile.
Only thing i want, to change this annoying avatar on Panoramio. These two accounts are linked, but displaying different pictures.

This is the screenshot from Panoramio Settings page (no avatar formula, and the right top corner displays my old locked picture):

There is a screenshot of Google+ account (the top right corner displays no avatar, because on Google i dont have any avatar uploaded):

Please, anyone help me with this, because its really annoying. All this Google network, everything is connected, but nothing works together. :(

After connecting to G+, that´s the only place where you can change name and/or avatar

Only in this forum the PA account name is used, that´s one of the many bugs Google liked to build in.

Thanks for your reply. Then its not possible to remove the old picture. :( Uhm... OK.
This old picture appears on my Panoramio page too (because on G+ i dont have profile picture).
What a bug, meh.

My problem is a variation of the original post. My Panoramio account is linked to my Google+ account. The avatar at the top right-hand corner of my page properly shows my Google avatar. However, on individual pages: groups, photo comments, etc., the thumbnail shown as my avatar is one that I had ages ago. I suspect it's from back when the two accounts were combined. Despite repeated checking, I can't figure out any way to update those. Help please?

I´m under the impression that your account is not linked to G+ (there´s no link under your name). When you upgraded to G+ in the first weeks that that was possible it could be that the link was disconnected due to a bug, it happened to many of us. In that case you can change your avatar under the cogwheel on the Panoramio page (not in this forum, this is a seperate interface). There are no other options that we know of.

Well, I think the profile of blakelylaw was upgraded to G+.
I can see the link "follow on G+" on his profile.
User name and avatar I can see on user Panoramio gallery (M. blakelylaw, Give thanks cookie) is the same as the one used in comments. (Two photos/comments checked, e.g. here: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/41735038?comment_page=7#users_comments)
I did not check the groups, as to track user within large groups is a hard job. ;-)

I can recommend blakelylaw to clear the cache of the used browser (Ctrl+F5, or to visit the setting of the browser), or to try other browser.
