Image does not change for me - Posted By minamoo (minamoo) on 20th Dec 10 at 1:48am
Hello. I have set up a randomizer, and for awhile it worked just fine. Then it got stuck on one image, no matter how many times I refresh it stays on this image. However, other people who look at it see different images. It's odd, because if I input the direct url to my randomizer in my browser, it'll show a random image.

Link to image that's stuck: http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z172/Daring_Dylen/Roleplays/Ghost/1239811249413_f-2.jpg

I have even tried deleting the image from the randomizer, and it still shows up as the only image (again, only for me. For anyone else who views it, it changes).

I apologize if this seems confusing at all {Sad}

This would most likely be your browser doing some over-aggressive caching. What browser do you use?

I use the newest version of Firefox. I tried clearing my cache/cookies, and it still stuck. I set up a new randomizer last night, and so far it hasn't gotten sticky on one image.

Hmm... ok. Perhaps it's just the randomness being not-very-random for that one. It's an interesting problem getting good randomization, and it isn't always simple.
