Profile picture cache

[MadRob6]

Every so often when I look at my profile or go to edit something of it I end up getting the old picture (a Passat). Last time it did this a good control+F5 fixed it.

Earlier today I went to my profile and got the correct picture (a 944) then went to another page then back to my profile and got the old pic again.

Is this just my profile and there's some weird cache thing going on or one server is a bit out of sync and serving the wrong picture?

More likely your browser than PH I'd think. Does the same thing happen if you open in a different browser or if you clear your cache?

Happened in Opera today. Just tried in Firefox, got the Passat, cleared the cache and got a Passat.

Bang goes my theory.
As you were...

It's the 944 on two of our servers and the Passat on another two. I'll copy the 944 across in a minute, so it should all be sorted soon.

So it isn't me going mental after all!

Cheers.

I've copied the picture across, so it should sort itself out fairly soon.

I've found the profile upload doesn't even upload the image 75% of the time.
Old image left in-place.
Even when it does, the old image seems to get copied back after a few seconds.

ps

Looking at it a bit further. The old images are dished up when going into the member profile from the forum index page.
When going to a member profile from other links (eg a thread) the newly uploaded images is shown.

To add to the fun, although the correct picture is shown in the member profile, when clicking on the image itself, it then loads the old image ...

Me-thinks you've got some weird server replication issues going on ...

Correct, good guess! It's on the to-do list...
