I was just noticing that if you switch from the blue style to the purple style a lot of the dark blue style buttons show up. I have to do a shift reload before I got the actually purple styled back. I know the images are being chached and that is why they are still there but shouldn't there be something to prevent that. Oh well thought I would tell you.

PS: Sorry if this is in the wrong forum or if I should have PMed it.

No, because the images SHOULD be cached to save bandwidth. :) Otherwise, each time you load a page, all images are downloaded again.

Just click on REFRESH if you change styles.

There is no way to prevent this from happening whilst having the images be cached...

normally this shouldn't happen as images are in different folders, and therefore chaching cannot occur (and it doesn't here)

seems you have a buggy IE ^^

The browser doesn't look to see what folder they are in, just what their filename is;)

You could have 2 styles, and they could both have a newthread image called newthread.gif, and IE until you refresh will see newthread.gif and pull the image from it's cache...

Sorry for not responding earlier. I use Mozilla Firebird not IE so it must be a Mozilla Firebird problem.
