I did everything you said multiple times. Appending to the description page
never did anything for me, as I wrote above. From my point of view it seems
that purging is broken or disabled for my account or for regular users or
something like this. Maybe only administrators or developers can use it? I have
no idea. It feels like (and you obviously think) that I'm to stupid to use a
web browser. This is not the case. I know how my Opera works, Shift+reloaded,
cleared everything, even tried different machines and different browsers. I
guarantee there is no client cache involved.

Appending to the image itself returned two different images as described above.
Currently, this is fixed. I assume (since nobody seems to be able to tell us)
that caching is done using the full URL and what I have seen was a new and an
old cached image.

What I write about the sandbox was coincidence, but most probably the other way
around: Reedy was able to purge the image in the second I edited the sandbox.
What I don't understand (this is the Bug) is why purging does not work
sometimes but does work if it's done by a developer? Should I open an other bug
for this?
