Hi:

When I change an image, but keep same title, then upload image to hosting
server, my browser will display old image until I refresh. If I close
browser, then open same page again, I have to refresh again to view new
image. It's not until I have done this a few times will get new image
without refreshing. Seems like browser is somehow holding on to old image.
Anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it?

Thanks,
Charlie
