New uploaded images not displayed

Few days ago I uploaded a new cover image for game Twin Sector, but the game page still displays the old image:

This happened before, with the game Claw where I uploaded a new settings screenshot in May, but the game page still shows the old image:

It says the new images are "current", but are not.

It's due to aggressive caching on the images. Normally, selecting More -> Refresh on the article should solve these issues but sometimes you also have to select More -> Refresh on the images themselves, and then after that select More -> Refresh on the article. If the issue still occurs after that, it's usually a local web browser cache issue and so F5 or Ctrl+F5 in the browser while on the page will take care of the remaining issue.

 

So:

1. More -> Refresh on the newly uploaded images themselves, and wait for the page to be refreshed.
2. More -> Refresh on the article the image is included in, and wait for the page to be refreshed.
3. If the old image is still visible, hit F5 or Ctrl+F5 in the web browser to refresh the local cache of the browser.

I've fixed both articles now, so the latest version of the images appear on both.

Thanks, pressing Ctrl+F5 fixed it now.

Our sysadmin should have hopefully solved the issue a few hours ago as well, so next time hopefully you either don't have to do anything, or you'll only have to do the second and third steps listed.
