Am I Imagining Things Again?
« on: June 03, 2003, 03:26:06 PM »
I logged in at work the other day to see a new banner with a rose on it.

Now it's gone.

...or, maybe I was just dreaming it? sleep1.gif

Try dumping your cache Bruce! The rose is there right now (and I did force a refresh, just to be sure!) wink.gif

I have tried everything I know, including emptying the cache. I cannot get Safari to show anything but the egg banner. huh.gif

Just so you'll be nice and confused Devilish2.gif I changed the banner again today.

It's 98% humidity here today, so I just had to get some relief! wacko.gif

Well so much for forcing a refresh! (who was that rascal that told me that holding down the option key while reloading actually forced a refresh?) However, after emptying the Safari cache, I now have a beautiful scene of Alaska...with nary an egg in sight!

Bruce, where are ye?  unsure.gif

And did the banner have the requisite cooling affect, Jennie? If not, I've got some pictures of massive amounts of snow from right here in MA that might do the trick! biggrin.gif

I still see the rose.

Course I found my old junior high yearbook the other day and looked up the pic of Sheila, my first sweetheart. The rose must be in my minds eye. <gr>


Just remembered .... Sheila dumped me for a boy who could walk on two limbs.

Back to the Alaska banner.

Alright... what's going on? ohmy.gif

I'm at work - on a PC - not logged in. The banner is a nice view of Alaska.

--------------------

Now I'm logged in - same computer - and the banner changes to the egg banner!!

Is there some preference in the forum that froze the banner in a time warp?

Unless you dump the cache on the PC you might get the old banner on a page you visited previously. Once the cache is dumped (and sometimes a restart of IE is necessary) you will see the new one on all TS pages.
(except the Archives page which I have to fix...  rolleyes.gif )

Okay... I'm back home on my own Mac with Safari. What do I see? An egg banner!!

I'm going to log out and see what happens. Then I'll come back and edit this post.

------------------

This is totally  wacko.gif !!

As soon as I logged out, the Alaska banner showed up. I logged back in and the egg banner is back.

Now I'm going to try another theme.

I guess I'm the only one here using the Invision Power (Snow) theme.

I had to change to another theme to get the Alaska banner to show. If I try to go back to the Snow theme, the egg banner comes back.

Can it be fixed? I like that theme. I liked the egg banner too, but I do like a change now and then. Especially when everyone else gets to. upset.gif

Just checked changing to the theme 'snow' in Camino Bruce F.

Got the egg also.
So it should be safe that it isn't a browser issue.
