Forum:Wordmark and images in general do not update

Hi everyone. I am having an issue when I try to update images. I first noticed it when I tried updating the wordmark (that image [usually] on the left of the nav-bar.)

What happens is, I am trying to update the current wordmark image, let's call it v.0, so I select "Upload newer version of the file" and I upload a new version, let's call it v.1. However the image that lives in the "current image" URL path is still the old one, v.0. Thing is that if later, with v.1 set as "current" I upload a newer version, say v.2 or revert back to an older one, so that v.1 is no longer the current image, and changes location (and path), then v.1's thumbnail and the actual image display correctly, i.e. it's the image I had uploaded.

Later I discovered that the same thing happens for other images as well when I try to update them.

I did not have this problem before, and I want to ask you, in case you know, what can it be? The database being updated very slowly or not at all for some reason, or some other bug? It's not an issue caused by outdated cache, I tried purging it, it's a server side issue. -- Noemo n  * talk * 06:44, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

It has to do with wikia. I found myself with the same issue when updating my wiki with a new navigation background for April Fools. I've had this happen before, and it usually is fixed over time. (A few hours). If it's on a page, you can resize the image to view to the current version instead of an old one. -- D e  n  t  --Talk  08:42, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same issue is happening to me. It's fine when it's a brand new file, but when it's an updated version of an already existing file, it gets problems. However, if you wait a few days, the problem will eventually disappear by itself. EpicWikipedian 08:48, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, I see. Thank you for the responses!-- Noemo n  * talk * 09:40, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * If it doesn't start working in a couple of days, make sure to use Special:Contact and report your problem. Wikia's image caching is notoriously buggy. I tried updating WoWWiki's wordmark for April 1 and it failed miserably as well. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 2 Apr 2012 1:51 PM Pacific
