browser cache paranoia


I looked at my gallery (the picture gallery software) page today (on a remote webhost) and was shocked to see some unknown picture as the highlight (thumbnail) for one of my albums. It appeared to be pixelated, like a small picture that was blown up to the size of the album thumbnail. This picture was not in my gallery. I cleared my browser cache and history and it went back to what it should be. Anybody have any ideas why this happened? Did a picture from a my browser cache have the same file name as the one that was supposed to be there instead?

Kind of a dumb question I know. But if you're like me, you need an answer for everything.

I also did ask on the gallery forums but nobody responded.

Right, and *that's* the reason investigators take care not to contaminate the "crime scene":

I didn't really think anything of it at the time. Just wanted to see the image was just in the cache or on the server as well. Was just looking for any logical explanation of something like this happening.
