Help me with image file

Go to Circadian rhythm. Note that there should be an image at the top, but there is just a blue file name. Click on it. The correct image is down the page, but at the top is a figure unrelated. Click on info at wikimedia commons and there the same file name has the correct image. Is this some fancy vandalism, or..??? --Hordaland (talk) 21:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I think it's a defective image. Was this image previously appearing properly? There has been some upgrades to the MediaWiki software recently, and I don't know what they upgraded exactly, but because SVG's need to be rendered by software in order to appear in most browsers it's possible that the upgrades caused some previously normal SVG files to break. —Soap— 21:15, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I switched to one of the other versions, which shows the right picture, and behold: it works! Saying that I understand precisely what's going on would be an overstatement, but sometimes treating symptoms is acceptable. Favonian (talk) 21:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I reverted your change to a PNG because the SVG now works (because I purged the cache). Logan Talk Contributions 21:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

- (edit conflict × 2) It should be fixed now. I purged the cache so that it would regenerate a thumbnail for the picture. You may have to bypass your cache. Logan Talk Contributions 21:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much. That {helpme} tag works magic, and so fast! Hordaland (talk) 21:21, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
