There was this old image at http://bigbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/File:Alien_Treasure.png from about a year ago. I rename it as http://bigbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/File:Alien_Treasure_Reward.png to prepare a space for a more appropriate image, and still leave the original image linked to the talk page where it was used.

After the rename, the image showed as if there was no image there. Just a grey generic image.

I ignored that, b/c I didn't care much about the old image, and I went ahead and uploaded the new image to the first name. The 'new' image at the old name showed the content of the original image, not the new image. ?????

I tried several combinations of renaming and re-uploading content. The two image names seem somehow to be linked together; if I change one, the other is affected, and I can't figure out how to get them to show the content I want. I even deleted both of them, and re-uploaded, and still it doesn't work right.

So finally I uploaded the new image to a new name http://bigbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/File:Alien_Treasure_2.png. That worked fine. Then I tried to rename it http://bigbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/File:Alien_Treasure.png, and it reverted to the original content instead of the new content. Renaming it to http://bigbusiness.wikia.com/wiki/File:Alien_Treasure_2.png worked fine, though. So I've left it that way for now.

So my new image is there, under a new name, but I would like to understand what happened, and how to fix it. Seems like something is wrong 'under the hood' with these two image names.

I've been an admin for over a year, and I've moved / rename / uploaded many images. This is the first time something like this has happened. How do I fix it?

Thanks.
