In the Settings, have a button where you press it and it asks you "Are you
sure you want to delete all of your cache?" and then you click the Yes
button and it deletes the entire cache and reloads the world you are in.
Also as it is deleting the cache, have a small popup window with a graphic
bar showing how much cache there is left to delete, because I know it could
take a little bit of time on older computers. This is just like web browsers
have with their cache.

We've been asking for at least an avatars.dat delete or auto-refresh for
ages :o/ If aw can d/l the av dat why can't it force a d/l of a new version?
Can't imagine why that would be a hard thing to do? I mean if ya replaced
your av dat surely you'd like that to take effect for all instead of either
a world refresh which forces all files to be refreshed (why? for just one
file change?) or you have to instruct everyone that has been there before
(over and over) to delete their av dat, close aw and reopen and then return.
What a chore that is...

It is? Not that I've noticed :o/ Nor anyone else that comes to our av world.
I don't see any mention of auto-refresh of avatars.dat on that page either?

I guess it is there :

" * Build 566 fixed a) falling through terrain after teleporting in-world; b) Fixed avatar.dat refresh. When objects are refreshed avatars.dat file will be refreshed now too; c) Fixed algorithm for calculating audio panorama when the same media stream is heard through 'multiple speaker' objects; d) Fixed issue where MOVE_DOWN would work even if flying is disabled but passthrough is enabled in certain circumstances (Thanks to Andras).; e) Changed to flash minimized application icon when a popup occurs, but do not restore the main window from minimized state; f) Changed sign update interval to up to date processor speeds; g) Added feature to start application from CD, memsick, etc (ask for it, when needed); h) Added feature to use media streams as ambient sound in world features; "

Item b).

when you change your avatars.dat, change your refresh rate to a lower amount, so your visitors will get an automatic refresh as they do when you change an object or texture.

Great idea Kenneth as I delete my cache. O thanks for reminding me to it. I
know we should do this often but I think this is the first time in a month I
have deleted mine. Maybe with the button I would have done it sooner. I know
most of my friends delete theirs everytime before they come onto AW...LOL

If you are looking for a program that can delete your AW cache with one
click, you can set up Crap Cleaner to do it for you. It will also clean
out temp files and loads of other junk on your computer. Check out
http://www.ccleaner.com for more info.

Right now I'm just using a .bat file, works good ... was just commenting
that the apparent noted fix regarding auto refresh of av dat isn't working
that I'm aware of.
