HOW TO CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE... and WHY IT IS NEEDED.

DISABLE CACHE to SEE REAL TIME CHANGES
System Update May 2022

The system has received an overhaul to provide faster loading and visual of real-time changes. In order to take advantage of this awesome update, you have to change a setting on your browser. It's easy - Watch this three minute video.

WHY MUST BROWSER CACHE BE CLEARED
-----------------------------------------------------
Web Browsers are lazy. They only like to download files once.
That means if a file is replaced but bears the same name, it will call the file from your browser cache instead of downloading a fresh copy from the server.
WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR AVATAR'S CLOTHES - you are, in fact, replacing one texture file with another, and keeping the same filename.
This means if you change your clothing... you may not see the change on your screen until you clear your browser cache and reload the page.

HOW DO I CLEAR MY BROWSER CACHE?
-----------------------------------------------------
The process is slightly different for each web browser, so a quick web search will give you the answer you seek if you use a different browser.
For Google Chrome: CNTL+SHIFT+DEL
Clear ONLY the Files and Images options. Clearing cookies will log you out. Clearing passwords always results in disaster. LOOK AT THE OPTIONS CAREFULLY.
