Description

When a user uploads their avatar it should be timestamped so that browsers know the old one is no longer in use.
Our current system makes the avatars named like this:
avatar_3971.jpg

So when the avatar is updated users browsers still contain a cached version of the avatar

I propose it becomes something like this:
avatar-3971.jpg?dateline=1236057326

it should be better to use:
avatar-3971_1236057326.jpg
[avatar-id-version.ext]

'cause some reverse proxies choose to ignore these if the URL contains a query string

We're not going to support reverse proxies. If the reverse proxy chooses to ignore query strings in URLs then it's a bug in the stupid reverse proxy.
