Images

Is anything going on with the images in articles? Some seem to be displaying, but others aren't. I'm guessing this might depend on the browser that is used, but I wanted to see if I'm the only one having an issue.--31dot 17:20, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

There have been image issues on Wikia for 2-3 weeks (on and off) now. -- sulfur 17:35, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I'm seeing upload problems. When I upload a new version of an image it shows the "old" image after upload (as if I re uploaded the old image). I refreshed my browser cleared all info, re logged in etc etc... but it just shows the old image.-- OvBacon^(Talk) 16:30, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Same thing happens to me often. Sometime re-uploading the image helps, other times it doesn't. It's extremely annoying. A couple times I've gone back literally weeks later, and the image still hasn't corrected itself. Any insight anybody has would be helpful. -Angry Future Romulan 16:33, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm having the same thing as 31dot. Most images do appear normal but some do not appear at all. When I have uploaded a new image, it doesn't display straight away but does after a couple of minutes. I figured this was just standard - the time it took to update. --| TrekFan ^{Open a channel} 16:48, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia blows. That said, it's best to wait an hour or so before re-uploading an image, to give the system some time to refresh. You should also disable page caching in the appearances tab under your preferences. - Archduk3 16:46, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm seeing in the recent uploaded images that multiple people are having that problem. Its been more than an hour on my first problem image of the day and no change..I'm reluctant to re-upload since I'm seeing Blair2009 doing that to no avail.-- OvBacon^(Talk) 16:54, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry angryRomulan...I just noticed that you are Blair..;)-- OvBacon^(Talk) 16:58, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

If there are problems today with images, best bet is to try and fix them tomorrow. Or the day after that, or the day after that.... - Archduk3 17:17, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

All seems fine again...-- OvBacon^(Talk) 14:23, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

The above problem seems to occur from time to time, its happening right now and happens regularly. It is (as Archduk3 suggested) best to just wait a day or so. Its not the same problem as when you upload an image and it shows a little later (that is more likely a cache issue on the user side). -- OvBacon^(Talk) 17:13, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Image Galleries

I've just noticed that the image galleries seem to be displaying only one image per row. It's like that one every page I look at with a gallery. Is this happening for anyone else? --| TrekFan ^{Open a channel} 07:08, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, me too. I'm using Monobook and Chrome in case it's relevant.–Cleanse ^{( talk | contribs )} 07:32, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

No problem using oasis on firefox. - Archduk3 07:42, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Oh sorry, yeah, I'm using Monobook in Firefox. I think it might be a Monobook issue if you're not having problems, Archduk3. --| TrekFan ^{Open a channel} 08:01, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Considering how badly wikia has fraked up the galleries in the last year, I wouldn't be surprised if that was it. There was a similar problem with older versions of IE about half a year ago, so something similar might be happening now because of the monobook skin, though I don't know, or forgot, if wikia ever said what was causing the problem, or if it was ever fixed. - Archduk3 08:12, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

New Version of a File

I think we have been having problems with the ability to upload a new version of a file for a few days now. I see multiple images that people have tried to upload a new version of that do not show up, and will even show the older file distorted. Anyone know why this is happening? I've seen this behavior before, but it never lasts this long...?! -- OvBacon^(Talk) 00:53, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

About two weeks now. Wikia knows about it. They're investigating. In short, if you see this happen, just list the images here, don't re-upload them. I'll add them to the list. -- sulfur 01:11, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll start a list below here. If I see any others I'll add them. -- OvBacon^(Talk) 01:31, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

It's still best to wait an hour or so before listing a file here, as File:Kang klingon 4.jpg is fine now. - Archduk3 01:40, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't look fine to me. I'm seeing a distorted old image and not the new one I tried to upload. (I have "Disable page caching" checked)-- OvBacon^(Talk) 02:00, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

I see what you mean... I kinda misunderstood. It shows in the list of recent images as the correct file but not in the file itself. Would be interesting if this problem is resolved the moment I list it here...;)-- OvBacon^(Talk) 02:09, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Retain your indent please.

[edit conflict?] - Is this on the file page of the list page? The list still shows the old one, but if you were to change the file size to anything below 148 or above 150 it would show the new one. This is assuming the new image is a closeup of the guy with part of someone's head/hair to the right of the shot, which is what the file page is showing for me. If that's it, and I don't see another option in the file history, you may just need to clear your browser's cache; usually you can just hold down shift and reload the page to do that. Disabling the page caching only stops wikia from sending you old information on the first view, if your browser already has old info, it may still use that. - Archduk3 02:12, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
