Forum:Image new version upload problems

Are there still any known bugs concerning image upload? Tried to update images a few hours ago via "Upload a new version of this file" and it still shows the old version of the image and not the new uploaded one (Just the image sizes got updated but applied to the old version of the file --> see ). If I upload the same image via the usual method I get a duplicate warning so it must be somewhere on the server but isn't properly shown... -- Schlulou  (Talk  -  Cont)  17:18, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Try deleting the old revision. If that doesn't work, move the file to a new title—that will force the cache to purge. -- Xd1358(Talk) 17:49, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help, deleting the old revision doesn't change a thing, but moving it worked. Annoying behavior, conclusion at the moment better don't work with images :/ -- Schlulou  (Talk  -  Cont)  17:59, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Try looking at Help:Bypass your cache. Duskey ( talk ) 18:21, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks like a server cache hiccup so the only method I'm aware of is to add the ?action=purge parameter to the url but this doesn't seem to work with images -- Schlulou  (Talk  -  Cont)  18:32, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have the same problem. I eventually worked around it by entirely removing the original. Unfortunately, this won't work for anything other than spot updates. Something seems very wrong with image handling since the update and it has nothing to do with my cache. Since the OP example isn't up, an example of the problem that I haven't bothered to fix is here. The new image shows a different size, but the first image is being served instead of the new image.

I've just been ab le to upload an image this morning so it looks like problem may be fixed. I'll come back if problem persists, thanks! Bardor 06:03, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you successfully updated an image or only successfully uploaded a new image with a unique name? I've been able to upload single images fine, but I could not update images. So I never had the problem you referenced in the other thread. Scormus

I've been encountering this problem on a number of occasions, as recently as now. A good example is. The previous version is the image i'm trying to upload, but no matter what the current version doesnt update. It only shows correctly in the archived version. There have been other cases where the image updates but not the thumb, or the correct image is there when you click on it but the picture shown on the in wiki image page is not correct Henneyj 02:17, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

I have the same problem. Problem is solved with moving file to a new title as Xd1358 said. But how to change Wiki.png? See here ... TedFB

I believe this problem still persists:

http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/File:Redeemed.png If you look at the file history for the page I linked, the current version is the pic I was trying to replace - that now has the dimensions of the image I'm trying to update it with - and the new pic I want to display shows up only in the file history. If I try to revert to the pic in the file history, the page taunts me by adding another instance of the pic I want to the file history and continues to display the one I want to change.

I have gone to your help pages and I've followed the instructions to purge my cache, the page's cache, etc. I even deleted the old file and nothing seems to work.

I cannot change this picture manually because it is on over 100 pages at this wiki.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

 * Try deleting the picture and then upload the new one keeping the same file name and extension. Duskey ( talk ) 21:51, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
