Uploaded images aren't cached, meaning they don't display until they have been re-downloaded from the server, wasting bandwidth.

[ara4n]

Steps to reproduce

1. Upload a largeish image
2. Watch as you send a bunch of data to the server.
3. Try to view the image you just uploaded
4. Discover the client burns a bunch of time and data first downloading it from the server.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Given you just uploaded it, the client already has the data available and shouldn't need to re-download it from the server.

What happened instead?

We waste bandwidth re-downloading something we already have to hand.
