Forum:Image upload problems

I already submitted a couple Special:Contact reports, but I want to know if my problem is more widespread or not.

On WoWWiki, I'm getting this problem where when I try to re-upload an image that is just a cropped version of the previous image, it pretends to upload, but just shows the old image resized to fit in the new image dimensions. The new image is no where to be found even with multiple efforts to purge, etc.

I'm also seeing a problem where I get a bogus duplicate image warning when uploading and if I ignore it, the upload either fails or shows some previously uploaded image as uploaded.

Anyone else having similar problems? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 21 May 2011 2:59 PM Pacific


 * Yes, same issue. From what I found it is a re-occuring issue. 90.216.25.75 22:43, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Isn't it just cache? Sometimes the new version of an image is immediately visible. Sometimes it takes a few hours. This isn't just a recent thing as far as I know. Sometimes if you scale down wherever the image is used by just 1px, it will force the newest version to show without having to wait. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:45, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think it is just a cache problem. I've been uploading lots of images and only recently have these strange problems started occurring. Also, I've never had it take more than a few minutes to show the new version and never had it give a duplicate warning and show me a completely different image from what I'm trying to upload.
 * I do wonder if it has to do with the sizes of the images though. Until recently, I've been uploading smaller images (<50K) and my recent ones have been a few hundred Kb or more. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 21 May 2011 3:49 PM Pacific
