My new image does not replace the old one. Even when I remove my profile customizations (wallpaper becomes white) and use my new image, the old wallpaper comes back to haunt me XD. Not a huge problem, but yeah... Does anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check back tomorrow and the cache should have refreshed by then XD I realize that is an inconvenient solution, but our other options are: add some code so the board sends a "purge cache" request to CloudFlare each time someone changes their profile picture, profile background, or any static resource^ this would somewhat reduce the effectiveness of the CDN part of CloudFlare.Too bad they don't have a way for us to just purge/expire 1 cached image. edit IPB to serve those images (profile pictures, background images) from a sub-domain that does NOT pass through CloudFlare's CDN, so there is no caching^ this would remove the CDN and caching benefits =[ stop using CloudFlare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same thing. I think having CloudFlare > waiting for 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering since the backgrounds changed faster for other IPB forums I've been to. It's fine if the problem has been looked into already ;D. I'll wait.
