Your browser may be using caching for efficiency. There's probably a way to force your browser to do a full refresh without using the cache.

I use Chrome, and holding Ctrl while pressing F5 will do it.

Hi Steven .. Yes it seems to be Caching issue... I did try refreshing page using Ctrl + R ( I am using chrome too) it did refresh the page ) but didnt change the image. However its working fine on Internet Explorer.

Ctrl +F5 didnt refresh the page on chrome .. Ctrl+ shift+ R however fetched the new image on refresh..

Thank you so much !!

Both Ctrl+F5 and Ctrl+shift+R refresh my Chrome, but it's not the very latest version.
