Photo Not Deleting and a Question

BradfordBenn

Howdy-

So I want to clean up my SmugMug collection, and I have been working on a few ways to do it. One of the things I was curious about was how a deleted image would appear on other pages.

1. I did a quick screen capture and upload of the screen capture. (http://bradfordbenn.smugmug.com/photos/378350435_QDDQ4-L.png)
2. I then created a quick page on my domain (http://www.bradfordbenn.com/test.html) that contained a link to an image in my Blog links gallery (http://bradfordbenn.smugmug.com/gallery/2618678_NDPxT)
3. I made sure that the page loaded and the image appeared, which it did.
4. I then went into the gallery and deleted the image.
5. I then reloaded the page in Firefox 3, the image was still there
6. I then tried it in Safari, the image was still there (I am on a Mac)
7. I then quit Firefox and relaunched it, the image was still there
8. I double checked that the image was deleted in the gallery, there are only the nine images in the gallery

So it appears that there is a problem with the image not deleting. So that leads me to the next question, what does appear on the other site that is linked to that image if it is deleted?:scratch :dunno

Hmmm. There's no image on this page, http://www.bradfordbenn.com/test.html, for me. I wonder if you're seeing some local ISP caching or Akamai caching that expires after some time period?

I tried again at the office using a few different connections... it is gone now. Thanks for checking.
