Profile Not Updating? Troubleshooting Sync Issues
If changes you make to your profile on markto.ch (name, photo, bio, location, preferences, etc.) are not appearing immediately — or not showing to other users — it’s usually a temporary sync, cache, or browser issue. These problems are common and almost always fixable without contacting support.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting – Try in This Order
- Refresh the Page Multiple Times
- Press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to force a hard refresh (bypasses cache).
- Wait 10–30 seconds and refresh again.
- Check both your own profile view and how it appears in search results or ads.
- Log Out and Log Back In
- Click your profile icon → Log Out.
- Close the browser tab completely.
- Re-open markto.ch → log in again.
- Most profile sync issues resolve here — the server reloads your latest data on fresh login.
- Clear Browser Cache & Cookies for markto.ch
- In Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → select “Cached images and files” + “Cookies” → time range “Last hour” or “All time” → Clear data.
- In Firefox/Safari: Similar path under Privacy/History → clear site data for markto.ch.
- Only clear for markto.ch if possible (search for the domain in the clear data tool).
- Log back in after clearing.
- Try Incognito / Private Browsing Mode
- Open a new incognito window (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N).
- Log in and check your profile.
- If it shows correctly here → the issue is your normal browser’s cache/extensions.
- Switch Browser or Device
- Try a different browser (Chrome → Firefox → Edge → Safari).
- Check on mobile phone vs. computer (or vice versa).
- If it updates on one device/browser but not another → clear cache on the problem device.
- Wait 5–30 Minutes
- Some changes (especially location, visibility settings, or Trusted Seller status) can take a short time to propagate across servers and caches.
- Close tabs, wait, then check again.
- Check for Conflicting Edits
- If you edited the same field from two devices/browsers at the same time → the last save usually wins.
- Re-make the change on one device only and save again.

Message example:
“My profile changes (e.g., new photo / updated bio / location) are not showing up even after logging out/in and clearing cache. Email: [your-email]. Can you check sync on your end? Thank you.”
Profile sync issues almost always resolve with one of the first four steps — no need to panic. Once fixed, your updates will appear normally to everyone on markto.ch.
Let me know which change isn’t showing (photo, name, location?) and I can give more targeted advice!
