I know that after uploading a new version of an image, we generally access the purging page to force the software to make a new thumbnail of it. But I don't know why, that the time for refreshing became too long these days: sometimes it even takes hours! It's a pain for me that I cannot visualize the layout with the correct image and have to spend a long time to continue editing. Am I the only one to feel it inconvenient?  Cafeinlove ^msg 2012-05-12, 6:46 am(UTC+9)

Problems with proper displaying of new revisions of images have been an issue on Wikia for as long as I can remember. You're not the only editor for whom this is an inconvenience. The best way to deal with it is to report it through Special:Contact. — Sovq 07:21, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

@Sovq: Does purging the page actually create a new thumbnail? --  pecoes  07:36, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
