Yuki Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I don't know if it is just me, but whenever I try to change the background image of my profile on rAthena, I keep getting the same image over and over. 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?
Brian Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 CloudFlare caches static content (like images, CSS, etc.) and "2 hours" is the lowest we can set the TTL. 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
Arcenciel Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Oh so that's why. I was wondering the same thing. I think having CloudFlare > waiting for 2 hours.
Yuki Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 Ah okay, thanks for the explanation! 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.
