Page description being reset? Thread

Hello Mod DB,

I have noticed that my page description (https://www.moddb.com/mods/above-the-catacombs) seems to be resetting to a previous "version" after a few days following a change to the description. For example, say I changed the present image to a different URL to indicate the project is 40% complete - the page for some reason may then revert back to the image that displayed it as 30%. Something must be going wrong because whenever the description seems to reset, the page does not indicate that it has been updated.

Regardless, correcting the revert is not a major concern, but it may cause confusion on what exactly has been updated on the page instead of just a correction.

Try pressing ctrl + f5 after saving your changes (when you go and check the mods page), It shows as 40% right now and could be your pc just caching the old image.

I am absolutely sure it reverted back this time. The page currently reads 30%, as if again the description was "undoed" to the previous version.

Your image must be caching, where is the link to the 40% image?

Media.moddb.com

The image is hosted on:

Greenpepperteam.com

Ok so I know why this is occuring. Our system pulls all images locally. We do this because if you browse old mods on the site many of them hosted images at places that are now dead like "imageshack".

So we have cached the 30% version of that image. What you are trying to do is hard todo, could you perhaps use HTML to type in the 40% that way it stays at what you want

I am not sure how I would be able to use HTML to hide the portion of the image that displays the progress bar, even then the idea of never being able to update the description image again is very odd. In fact, it could just end up becoming totally messed up as HTML tags do not seem to register very well on this website. I previously had an HTML "progress bar", but for some reason one day - the page just would not display properly.

HTML won't be changed unless you edit it. So if you get it working it should stay fine. But just remember we cache images

The HTML does change however, because if it did not, then the source of the image would not be seemingly reverted, which is included in the HTML. I manually changed it back to 40% recently, so I have to wait and see and if it continues changing the image source in the HTML.

That's what I meant sorry. HTML doesn't change, but images do - we cache them locally. So the image will change but the rest wont
