Forum:Problem with Updating Files

Hey Everyone! I am having problems with updating old photos on my wiki. I am using Firefox 4 (if that has anything to do with it). I have updated a few files and the new files i have replaced them with havent appeared. Instead the old file takes the size of the new one. Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers

 * Caching issue. Sometimes it helps to delete the old file first, other times it helps to just wait.


 * Trust me, deleting the old image doesn't help. Also, see Forum:Image upload problems. You can only wait. If it's super-important to display the new one, you can upload it under a different name. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 13:03, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Be warned. Sometimes uploading under a different name doesn't work either, but it's worth a try. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 May 2011 1:57 PM Pacific


 * This is an issue Wikia staff is aware of and working heavily on this week. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:44, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I came to the forums to see if anybody else was having this trouble in recent days. Apparently so. It's good to know that Wikia is aware of it. Revitalizer 02:28, May 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * We'll release more details as they become available, but simply put reuploading an image is not busting the MediaWiki cache of the image, whereas initial upload does break the cache. We will have some image uploading downtime later this week and will make an announcement both in the Technical Update tomorrow and elsewhere when we know the exact time of this maintenance. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 05:11, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
