CSS not Changing

Hello.

I am trying to edit the template_css.css file. However, the css is not accepting any of my changes. None of the images for the backgrounds are changing. I have tried style 1, which is the default, and I have tried changing the template style to style 3... none of this works. I have emptied my cache and tried different browsers as well as FTP.

Suggestions and/or help please

You need to take care about css rules advantages. Simplest way just use !important flag for each css property you set, example:

color:red!important;

Thank you. I will give this a try.
