Adding to this... If I view the page source and look at the section calling the images ( SEE SECTION BELOW ) Clicking on the image initially shows the cached image , doing a refresh shows the updated 'unshown' image. So there needs to be a way to tell the browser to reload all the images without the viewer having to type in anything special, or the image generator itself is perhaps missing something to indicate to browsers that it's been updated. Any ideas or clues. Is this just me?
