I keep trying to update my entry and it never changes in the actual entry. What am I doing wrong? I've heard this same question asked a hundred times in this forum but can't remember what the suggestions were (something about an F key?). Any help would be appreciated.

Tried that. Didn't work. Any other ideas?

Check if your revised entry complies with the restrictions, file size may have changed, etc.

Also note that if you change an entry in an anonymous contest (i.e. today), it will be sent to the back of the sort order where, probably, less people will see it.

Thanks Vokaris! For some reason, as I was saving the file, it showed one file size but when I went to where the file is actually stored in my computer and it was way bigger. It's the first time that I have ever saved a gif for "web and devices" and had it come out as a bigger file size than what was shown in photoshop (??)

Ctrl-F5 = hard refresh (PC)
Command-Shift-R (Mac)

Hope that helps. I've always had to do that before seeing the updated version.

does that only happen during an anonymous contest? I thought it was like that for every contest..... unless you only change the authors comment or title.

The image is pushed to the end of the line every time it's updated. The "problem" with updating in anonymous contests is that the default order is the only order. It's been observed that entries on the 2nd, 3rd, etc, pages get less views, and perhaps, less votes.

In regular contests many people click on "sort by votes" before voting.

Is it possible to just have the contest page as a single...like you know every entry opens and you just scroll down.
I know you can select all, but if the selection was removed and a single page was the default then every one would be a little more equal with regards to a viewing.
