If I load new images for the slideshow, clear Drupal cache and browser cache, the slideshow is still not updating to the recent version on Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. I use also Safari on iOS5 and it works there. Another user reported me, she has the same issue on 3 different browsers. I replaced the images with the same name and I'm sure there are in the right direction.

Image 1 and image 3 are interchanged. The one uploaded as 1 is shown as 3 and vice versa.

Replace the slider-image-1.jpg, slider-image-2.jpg and slider-image-3.jpg in the image folder of Business Theme folder.. Clear the Drupal Cache.. Checked it out on new PC or Private Browsing in Firefox.

slider-image-3.jpg will be displayed as First image of Slider and slider-image-1.jpg will be displayed as Last image of slider..

This is a browser issue, and a particularly vexing one - I experienced it on Firefox, Chrome and IE8. Since the slider images do not register in the DOM in a standard way even restarting the browser doesn't even clear it out of it's cache. Maybe Safari is more intelligent that way. Chrome incognito (doesn't maintain a cache, right-click a link in Chrome and select "Open in incognito") also is a good way of previewing the latest content. That was the only way I was able to verify the change was made because even after doing all that Firefox, Chrome, and IE8 still showed some of the old images even after clearing browser cache and restarting those browsers. Seems unbelievable but it's true. It's all a DOM thing, no pun intended (DUM thing).

I am having same problem (IE8/Chrome). I tried several times and cleared cache, server cache, drupal cache, etc. No luck. I renamed slide-image-1.jpg to xslide-image-1.jpg (using FTP) thinking that a missing file would trigger some insight but the slideshow still displayed the same images. This was very strange. I right-clicked on the first slide image and coped the link for the image.

The link was: /themes/business/images/xslide-image-1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.uH40PD21BL.jpg

When I copied the link to a new tab, the image being displayed in the slideshow was the image on the tab.

I edited the URL address to the physical file name: /themes/business/images/xslide-image-1.jpg

Now the file I wanted to appear in the slideshow appeared. This was very strange. How would the slideshow script know I changed 'slide-image-1.jpg' to 'xslide-image-1.jpg'?

Maybe the images are being cached to a web service or somehow the file server is caching them. Probably the last option since the server seemed to know I changed the file name. Anyway, someone please try to replicate this and see if they get the same results. If I learn anymore, I'll post an update here.
