Changing Photobucket pics

I use Photobucket-hosted pics to make my listings in Turbo Lister, and was under the impression that changing the photos was a simple and almost instant procedure. I recently decided to replace my hastily-taken photo of an item for a better photo, so I deleted the first photo from Photobucket, then tried to upload a different photo with the same title, from a different folder on my computer, but it kept re-uploading the deleted photo instead. I tried waiting for a few minutes between deleting the original and uploading the replacement, but the same thing happened. Since I didn't want to leave my listing pictureless for any significant length of time, I just left it.
Does this usually happen, and does anyone know how long I should wait after deleting a photo before I can upload a new one? Or is it finding the original from the other folder on my computer where it's not even supposed to be looking?

    i've had this problem in the past with photobucket, not sure why or how it does it :confused:

    the only way i found round it was to rename the new photo or adding a number to it i.e: pic one = rush, pic two - rush1 etc if that makes sense. even tho pic one had been deleted it still kept uploading it when i was trying to upload the new pic, no idea where it kept getting it from ?

    ya still freezing :p




  • So I'd then need to revise my item to change to a photo with a different title? It's a bit of a pain, but I suppose I can live with that.
