Description
Another PageEar module issue for me...it keeps "remembering" old images!!
I have to change the file name in order to get PageEar to load a new picture...it's really weird:
1) I have picture "abc.jpg" of a triangle pointing upwards, say.
2) I edit "abc.jpg" so that the triangle is pointing downwards instead.
3) I erase the old "abc.jpg" from my server, and then upload the new "abc.jpg"...but PageEar keeps displaying the old "abc.jpg" anyway!
4) Reloading the browser has no effect
5) I must rename "abc.jpg" to "xyz.jpg" in order for PageEar to display the new triangle!!

Did you try clearing your browser's cache instead of just trying to reload?

Nope -- so that's necessary??
I mean, it'd only be necessary for PageEar, then...'cause any other time I update an image reference I have no problems simply reloading the page.

If you replace an image on your server to one with exactly the same name you would not see the updated version until you clear your browser cache. That's for all images not only pageear. That's how the browser cache works, if the same image is requested (http ://example.com/example.jpg is requested again) it takes it from cache not from web server.
Anyway it is something to check on module upload code which probably should write the files to new names instead of overwrite the previous one.
