Chances are that your browser has the original one cached.

Mary means that your browser is storing an older version of the thumbnail (so it doesn’t have to download the thumbnail again). Do you get a “Image/Thumbnail successfully updated” message after you update the thumb?

Did you clear your cache? What do you mean by “doesn’t work”?

Re: Why I can't update my Thumbnail?
I have encountered the same problem. The existing thumbnail was not replaced by the new (either uploaded or created) one. Deleting the actual file (123t.jpg) from the /image directory helped. But I never understood why it wasn’t replaced in the first place.
(Sorry, that was a while ago and I don’t remember details, like server settings, php version or the like.)

Re: Why I can't update my Thumbnail?
I experience it too, and resolve it just by forcing a refresh (Ctrl-F5). It’s simply that the browser doesn’t think the file should be re-downloaded. I’ll look into seeing what we can do about it.

Should be easy to fix by adding ?unixtime_in_seconds after the image URL.
edit: on second thought… is CTRL-F5 preferred in this case over having all the thumbs reload each and every time you view them on the admin side?

I’m sorry Mary, but even clearing the cache didn’t work for me at the time (that is the first thing I try in similar cases).

In that happens again, can you check the modification time of the thumbnail file using your FTP client or try loading it directly: http://example.com/images/1t.jpg?random_number
That should always give you the correct image.
