I understand that it takes 24 hours - 36 hours to update but I have been waiting 5 days for the update. I even tried to delete and add the link/photo again but no luck. Anybody has a solution here? Is it that LinkedIn caches my image or something?

    Your live flair is fine now, so it's most likely cache in Linkedin site itself, nothing SE can do.

For users having the same problem, they can clear the cache of LinkedIn by appending a parameter.

to something like this

or

It cleared the cache of the previous image and the updated flair is being displayed. Remember to create a new parameter every time for the latest flair update.

EDIT: It seems like LinkedIn cache system refresh every 7-10 days for the flair to be updated.

  • I think that will fix it for now, but it won't actually update very often, right?

  • I am not sure, I will have to wait for a day to check. Have you faced the same problem, Patrick?

  • With LinkedIn caching, yes. Nothing you can do about it.

  • I guess it takes 7-10 days for the LinkedIn caching system to refresh it. meta.stackexchange.com/a/159752/289262

  • Actually adding any querystring will have same effect, e.g. stackexchange.com/users/flair/6177434.png?bustcache=536144
