ITNewb uses memcached heavily to cache content in memory so we don't have to pull it from the database on every request. This helps us scale the site and support more traffic.

The vast majoriy of these cached objects are immediately purged or updated to reflect your change or deletion operation, but some of them are not.

When you change or delete information, the database is immediately updated but it is possible a cached version of the old information may linger temporarily on the site until it expires.

We typicaly cache these particular objects for 1 hour, but there are a few sections that cache content for 24 hours, and this content may include member photos. When you change or delete a photo, if would require many cache deletion operations to guarantee the stale version of your photo didn't remain on the site.

For this reason, when you change or delete a photo we update the database to reflect your new photo (or lack of one) and add a file deletion request. Your old or deleted photo should stop appearing on the site within 24 hours, and the actual image file itself will be deleted from our file servers within 48 hours.
