I copied and pasted http(s)://placeimg.com/400/400/nature (with and without the "S") into the img src but the image doesn't change. It just loads the same one over and over when the page is refreshed. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 20,177 PointsI'm having the same issue, the picture is being cached, refreshes to a new one after clearing browser cache but still the issue persists every time you refresh.
I'm wondering if there is a way to auto-clear browesr cache in the HTML code or it's specifically controlled only by the browser settings.

7,343 PointsI just tested it in Internet explorer and it works normally. It's not working correctly in chrome however. I'm guessing it's one of the security settings I have on Chrome since it keeps wanting to use httpS:// instead of http://
Hope that helps.
