Chat still shows the old Warm Welcome hat

Question

Yesterday the star on the Warm Welcome hat was changed to a heart, according to this post.

But it seems like chat.stackexchange.com has not been updated yet.

I see the new hat on my profile, but not on chat.

Is this a bug, or is chat just a bit slow to recognize the change?

There are also other sporting this now retired design, should we blame 6-8 week caching? — Luuklag, Commented Dec 18, 2019 at 13:15
Pretty sure it's not cache, and chat takes a different copy of the SVG, which wasn't updated. — Shadow Wizard, Commented Dec 18, 2019 at 13:23
can you please link me to someone in chat in a public room wearing the hat? — Yaakov Ellis, Commented Dec 18, 2019 at 13:39

@YaakovEllis It's also showing me with the old hat in that chatroom. I've just re-equipped the new hat - so it's not just for people who were wearing the hat before the change (if helpful). — user377035, Commented Dec 18, 2019 at 13:46
@YaakovEllis, I usually use the responsive design on mobile, but for Chat that doesn't appear to be an option. Hence I wouldn't know. — Luuklag, Commented Dec 18, 2019 at 14:02

Hats on chat should be up to date now.

It was a caching issue. Or maybe an off-by-one error. Well, one of those three things anyway.

@MEE so true, Yaakov is a worthy successor of Jeff. If only he'll get to Jeff's original position at SE, things will be so much better.
