--- Comment #85 from TMg <mr.h...@gmx.de> ---
I'm pretty sure this won't be helpful. However the following is new to me and
explains a lot (like people calling me an idiot because they see the right
image but I don't). Currently when I load these thumbnails:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Wappen_Landkreis_Aurich.svg/423px-Wappen_Landkreis_Aurich.svg.png

and press F5 multiple times, sometimes it shows the old version and sometimes
the new. Obviously this is an effect of the load balancer. I would be happy to
give you more information but tracert always outputs the same (see comment 29).

You are right, there are a lot of things to do:

a) Stop all this from happening. If there are multiple causes it's *your* job
to split this into multiple reports. We (the users) can't do this. All we see
is random garbage.
b) Fix the broken thumbnails.
c) Fix the broken original size images.
d) Give us one or more tools to fix this ourself. None of the ideas above
works, not adding a random parameter to the thumbnail URL, not the
/thumb.php?... call.
