When viewing my page on Google Chrome, none of the pictures will update. Everything appears fine on Explorer and Safari, and the text updates fine on all three. But on Chrome I have updated text with outdated photos. Has anyone else experienced this?

Updates do not appear on Google Chrome!.

I have changed the picture on my home page and I have saved it and published it several times but for some reason it will not show up on my website. How can I fix this problem? This has been going on for almost a week.

Trouble changing pictures on homepage.

Sarah,
Try going to the page you want updated (via the web not SiteBuilder) and pressing CTRL F5 together. You may have to do it a few times, but it worked for me.

I added a link to a page and it is not showing up.

Why are my new updates not showing up on my page after I publish it?.

I did everything that I was supposed to do and when I enter my website address, it says "safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found". This is so frustrating...I've had a great experience so far but this is getting me very frustrated! PLEASE HELP!!

Where is my website?.

Going through the process of updating the site, Saving, Previewing, and then Publishing seems to be working, but when I log on to the site that page has not been updated. Other pages have been, but one particular page has not.
