For those of you with images in your blog posts you’ll be pleased to hear that I’ve improved image and file caching. If your browser already has the image it shouldn’t be downloaded again!

[…] Donncha, the leading developer behind WordPressMU, reports wordpress.com image caching has been improved so images will load faster and if you try to load an image that is already there, it won’t let you. I hope the ability to see what you have on file already will be coming soon. […]
This may be a me thing… but I did noticed with one image I had, after stopping it loading half way (I can’t remember why) it wouldn’t refresh unless I shift-refreshed it.
WordPress ate my comment. I hope you have it, if not will type again tomorrow. 🙂
Got it Craig – that’d be browser caching in play. I’ve noticed the same thing with other sites and shift-refresh usually helps too. It’s not really broke so I’m not going to try and fix it!
There is some problem with comments though, need to look at that!
