    Hi,
    My issue is with overwriting a file.
    I upload a jpeg to my website & its shown fine.
    I then decide to make an edit to the picture,say brightness etc & overwrite the original file.

    Now when i look at the image on my site i see the old image so i press Ctrl & F5 and the page refreshes & the new image is shown which is great.

    In the last week what ive noticed is that this no longer seems to work so what i need to do it time is go into settings History & clear browsing data for it to now do the same thing.

    Any advice would be great.
    Windows 7 Thanks very much.

    yup, that's weird. reloading a page should refresh all of its elements.
    i don't know about chrome, but some browsers allow one to set a certain size for caching,
    so you could specify a really low amount of disk space for browser cache, so that the browser is always refreshing itself because it is not allowed to cache anything.
    or you could set up a virtual RAM disk and point chrome's cache to the virtual RAM disk, so that any time the computer is rebooted, cache is automatically cleared.
    or you could use different browsers to view and verify any changes one makes to their website, which might not be bad idea since it is a good thing to see how one's website works with the different browsers.
    anyway, good luck with it.
