Forum:Warning, Wikia's image caching is bad

Think very careful when you upload and image file. Make sure you won't need to upload a new one over it. Or, if you need to upload a new one, just upload it under a different name, because Wikia's image caching will confuse which one is which and you're unlikely to get the image you want to show up.

Something has gotten really screwed up with Wikia's image caching as they've gotten bigger. About 2-3 years ago this was not as persistent and irritating a problem. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 2 Sep 2011 7:11 AM Pacific


 * Yes, it's quite irritating, specially when uploading the image under a different name is not possible because naming conventions and such. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:03, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that moving the image to a different name would suppress the cache and force the most recent revision to appear. At least that worked on Wookieepedia in the spring. 19:11, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
