    Reloads the page, just like the button always does, only it doesn't attempt to load images from cache and instead re-downloads them. Stefan's suggestion effectively does the same thing. Clearing your browser cache (temp files) would do it too.

    The problem is your browser, for whatever reason, can't see that the image has changed. Attributes such as the dimensions, name, date and file size of the two pics are the same or similar enough that the browser thinks "I've already downloaded this before, so let's just use the one I've got" instead of downloading it again when it renders the page. Normally this behavior is a good thing, makes pages load faster, but this time it's causing the poor kid to grow backwards like Merlin or that Benjamin Button guy.

    I think you have a major virus! I would go right now and reformat your entire hard drive before you lose everything you have. You're heard of Haley's Comet? Well, you got Gene's Comet!!! It's all created from the Comets...better get rid of them while you can. I hacked into your system and this is what my new James Bond SuperDooper I-Spy program picked up. This is a snapshot of your computer than only I can see. Let me know if I can be of any more help buddy! (y)

    Blu, Are you using AOL? If so, that's the problem.

    That sentence could be applied to so many of life's problems...

    Yes, AOL has a cache too, outside that of your browser, and you can't do much about it except have faith that everybody else sees the correct picture.

    I changed the icons to protect your privacy. You know...one of those stupid privacy act things. :16suspect
