WHY you need to USE the “ReFresh Your Browser EVERY TIME” option
We frequently get questions that you are having problems viewing the photos for your club members, that you JUST uploaded. OR, you make a CHANGE to a member’s record, and the VIEW screen shows the same data value (although the “update seemed to work okay”). The “real” problem you are having is caused by your browser setting (and your ISP caching methodology).
Basically, the photo is referred to by its RI#.jpg…Then, after you make a change, and request a “view” to SEE the results, the ISP caching says, “Oh, I already have that file, so it is not necessary to go back to the server for that page/screen.”
So, here are the “steps” for a system using Windows XP with the Internet Explorer brower to change your IE browser settings to REFRESH EVERY TIME, and this resolves the problem you are having.
Attached is a graphic that shows the “clicks” and screen shots for making this change: Click on TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS, then SETTINGS, and finally click on the EVERY TIME option.
