Timing of POW appearance

[thistlebloom]

When the Picture of the Week is picked and loaded there seems to be a huge variance in when it appears on different members computers. Some people see it immediately, some not until mid week and for some it doesn't appear at all until a new one is picked.
I'm still seeing the one from 2 weeks ago.
Is this something to do with different browsers, or is it TEG specific originating in the platform?

Sorry if I used the wrong terminology. Computerese is similar to Latin for me, but less understandable.

It really has a lot to do with your computer browser's "cache" settings. Some computers / browsers will store the image longer to save on download time / bandwidth.

I'll see if there is a way to force the browser to not cache the same image after the image is swapped.

If you see an old POW and you know there is a new one, try clearing your browser cache and it should show up.

Thanks for the quick reply Nifty! I'll do that.

I must say it makes me smile to see my Fall foliage when I open TEG.

I'm still seeing Carol's corn stalks. This browser cache stuff sounds like Greek to me, not Latin. I'll have my husband check on it.

if you want to quickly clear out that 'cache' to see the updated pic you could used the F5 key (if you use a PC you should have this at the top of your keyboard. on a Mac i have no clue what button to push to 'refresh' the screen.
