Chrome does not update the changed images. was created by supergian1969

hi, when i change one of the bg1,2,3,4 images on the server, google Chrome does not update the images.
i can close the browser, restart the pc but nothing.
The only way is to clear the cache files in the Chrome options.
This does not append with IE and Firefox, with these i simply close and open again the browser.
How does Chrome work? is a time question?
Thanks.

Refresh several times with CTRL+F5 ,Copy link address , open new tab , right click on browser address bar then click "past and go".
This is like voodoo ritual actually i'm not sure eater you can find instructions on internet (that work) .
Other solution is to clear browser history but making sure your page in not loaded.

Sorry but how can I tell this to the whole world when i change an image?
so if i change an image the Chrome users will not see any changes? they must delete their cache browser?
I think this is unbelievable!
Please tell me that there is another solution!

Cache eventually expires and browsers load content again, like after 48h depending on browser settings.

if you have spacial case where you need to do that more frequently open:

mod_hot_flashes_menu\tmpl\default.php , line ~81:

Code:

for( $loop = 0 ; $loop < count($bcg_images); $loop ++) {
  echo '.'.basename(basename(basename(basename($bcg_images[$loop],'.jpg'),'.jpeg'),'.png'),'.gif').' { 
     background:url(\''.$backgrounds_url.basename($bcg_images[$loop]).'\');
  }
  '; 
  $backgrounds_exist++;
}

change to:

Code:

for( $loop = 0 ; $loop < count($bcg_images); $loop ++) {
  echo '.'.basename(basename(basename(basename($bcg_images[$loop],'.jpg'),'.jpeg'),'.png'),'.gif').' { 
     background:url(\''.$backgrounds_url.basename($bcg_images[$loop]).'?diff='.rand().'\');
  }
  '; 
  $backgrounds_exist++;
}
