Short Answer:

To  keep your online store as fast as possible, some of the styles/settings information  is stored in the browsers session.  In  short, the browser is a little handicapped in this area, so you simply need to  force the browser to refresh/delete it.  The easiest way to fix this is by adding the parameter reload=1 to the URL.

Detailed Explanation:

The fast and easy way:  While you are viewing your store on your  website, within the address bar, add the following parameter to the end of the  address:    reload=1.  Usually, since it comes after a bunch of  other parameters, you will need to add the ampersand symbol: &

  For example:

       http://yourwebsite.com/catalog.htm?VCS=3645ih4934....&Tp=1
    becomes
       http://yourwebsite.com/catalog.htm?VCS=3645ih4934....&Tp=1&reload=1

If this the first parameter in the URL, meaning there is  not a question mark "?" after the file name;

For example:
       http://yourwebsite.com/catalog.html
    then use a ? symbol instead of the and symbol.
       http://yourwebsite.com/catalog.html?reload=1

Of course, then you just need to  hit Enter (or Go) to reload the page, and you should start seeing your updated changes.

The long way:   Instead of doing these steps, you might be able to close ALL instances of your browser, and/or deleting session cookies; but this is not guaranteed to work every time.
