Try the following, maybe you'll understand it better then: 1. Go to the Net Panel 2. Reload the page 3. Search for your CSS file 4. Click on it to show more detailed info 5. Click on the Response Tab and see what's standing there
What you'll see are the contents the server was returning when the CSS file was requested. If this is differing from what you have at the server have a look at the requested URL. You can even open the CSS file in a new browser tab via the context menu of the response. Another possibility to do so is to right-click on the link inside the Style Side Panel (right side of the HTML Panel) and chosse "Open in New Tab" there. Hope this helps a bit more.
