    project - uploading file with same name does not update front page

    Issue Number:
    93
    Severity:
    Moderate
    Description:
    I re-uploaded a new image for my project

    Random planet project front page has this image
    http://starfrontiers.us/files/proj_img/random-logo.png

    when I edit the project is has this image
    http://starfrontiers.us/files/proj_img/random-logo.png

    changing the name of the file before uploading fixes the issue.
    note: you will have several (possibly unused) images in that folder.

    You need to refresh you browser. They're recorded to the same image file, so that means the picture has been overwritten. Refresh your browser to see its effect on pages you've already viewed.

    I did use F5.
    my post has the image locations and I think I tried it in IE as well.
    let me try to duplicate.

    Okay - this should be working now.  I realized I did have an error, thanks for finding it!!  I avoid the problem with several (possibly unused) images in that folder by housecleaning at cron (every two hours I parse through all the files in that directory - which only holds project image/logo files - and delete anything that isn't the image for a currently existing project).
