Opera displays one image incorrectly...?

[VJ]

A couple of days ago, my Opera gave me this strange problem on the forum. In a message-thread, there are icons below each message; one of them is a "buddy"-icon. This icon has now been replaced with the "dangermouse"-logo (one of the users here has this as an avatar).

Reloading the page does not help, clicking the image to reload it doesn't, rebooting, ...

I am a bit reluctant to clear my cache, as I fear the Opera-reload problem on this forum might occur when I do that.

Any thoughts on how to get this image to display correctly ?
(I thought about deleting only this image from the cache, but I would need to know what name the image has in the cache of my system)

Remove buddy.gif from the cache.

The cached images have a different name, e.g.:
opr0CJKY.gif

As there is quite a number of images, I don't know which one is the buddy.gif image. And most images are 1 KB, so limiting the search to the files with a certain name still yields a huge number of files...

it is probably safe if you remove all those pictures.

[VJ]

Yes, I'll try that, just wanted to check if there was no "safer" solution...

Thanks...

Well, problem is solved, and Opera still seems to be running nicely...
(guess I was a bit too paranoid here )

Any thoughts on what might have caused this ? And why right-click on an image and selecting reload doesn't help ?

Thanks,


Jörg
