Random announcements not changing on refresh

I've set up an announcements module in a sidebar to display one random item. This sidebar appears on most pages and when you visit different pages the item changes as it should. However, if you go back to a page you've previously looked at, the item is the same as it was when you first visited that page and doesn't change no matter how many time you refresh the page. I assume the browser is caching the page, but shouldn't the item change on refresh? Is there a way to force it to change, particularly if you've gone away from the page and come back to it again?
Here is the code I'm using for the tag:
{module_announcement filter="random" template="/ModuleTemplates/Testimonials/custom.tpl"}
Any help is appreciated.

BC has commented on this before - It is to do with performance caching. When your viewing and testing and reloading many times etc - This is not a real world live example of a persons use. So it may be the case you not see the item updated. Go to a different browser and you will very likely see a different one.
The other factor to also consider is the number of items - If you only got 4 items then the likelihood one will show up over and over is very high.

  • HELP!: Canon Rebel XS Changing Settings Randomly and Not Taking Photos!!

    PLEASE HELP! This is a very desperate attempt at reaching out for help before I THROW MY CAMERA AT THE WALL! Frustration level 1000 reached.  The problem: I power up my Canon Rebel XS (purchased in 2009 and treated like my baby), point it at the subject matter, press the shutter button to take my beautiful photo, and all hell breaks loose! The camera decides to change all the settings, usually the shutter speed. When it's in full auto mode, the shutter speed changes between 3 or 4 different options (depending on the settings of the photo) and then it never releases, resulting in no photo. I've tried holding down the button and pressing quickly, neither work.  So I've tried this in all settings: In Shutter Priority mode, the aperture changes randomly. In Aperture priority mode, (you guessed it!) shutter speed changes randomly. What changes in manual exposure mode? Exposure level... all on its own. OH -- I FORGOT TO MENTION, as they change, they BLINK! Whatever setting is randomly switching itself, it blinks. As if to taunt me and grab my attention -- "Hey, you! This is why I'm not taking the picture! HAHA!"  So honestly, if anyone has any insight, I would be EXTREMELY grateful. But I'm pretty sure it's possessed by an evil spirit intent on seeing me rip all of my hair out. >.<

    What if we control the shooting conditions?  If you go outside on a sunny day, there would certainly be enough light for the camera to focus and take a shot.  Have you tried this? I ask this because if I attempt to take a photo in a situation where there is simply not enough light, the camera will do precisely what you are describing...   it has some limits to ISO, shutter speed, and aperture that it cannot exceed (it could in manual control, but will not in the auto or semi-auto modes.)   I've noticed that my camera doesn't want to exceed certain shutter speed limits, ISO limits, and of course the lens constrains the aperture values available.  Also, if the lens auto-focus is enabled and the camera is in "One Shot" focus mode (the default) it will not take an image until it can lock focus on at least one AF point. Give the camera enough light... and all of these problems go away. Shoot in Manual mode and all of these problems (except focus) also go away. If the camera is not moving (e.g. on a solid tripod) and the subject is not moving (e.g. a still scene) then you can take an exposure as long as necessary to get a shot -- but you may have to manually focus the lens if the lighting is poor and the subject lacks adequate contrast. 

  • Attached Aliases in Notes Change Applications at Random

    Aliases attached to Notes change application, seemingly at random (though something approximating the last application used to open an attachment). This seems like a (very annoying) bug, since it renders aliases useless in Notes.
    Can anyone else reproduce this? Simply drag an a few aliases of several different file types into a Note, save it, and then open one of them. The others will get confused about what they are, changing file type, or loosing it altogether. Check the "Open With..." entry in the attached alias's context menu.

    Ok, I reinstalled gdm, added my user to the video group and so far it seems to be working properly, so thank you very much.
    Now I just need to see if it will stick that way, since it seems to come and go somewhat randomly.
    And btw, I use the presentation mode shell extension, but disabling it did not have any effect.
    EDIT:
    Ok, it seems the source of the problem was this little addon to /etc/gdm/Init/Default, that I used to launch synergy in GDM:
    /usr/bin/killall synergyc
    while [ $(pgrep -x synergyc) ]; do sleep 0.1; done
    /usr/bin/synergyc 192.168.0.2
    Since synergy controls the display power state, it would add up.

  • I have an Iphone 4s from my work. Until 2 days ago, my iphone would notify me when I got an email or text. Now it does not notify me at all and some times it does not ring at all either. I have not changed any settings at all.

    My iphone just randomly stopped notifying me when I got an email, text or voicemail. Sometimes it will not even ring. I confirmed that the volume is turned on and I have not changed any settings at all. My software is up to date. In my job I need to know when I get an email without having to constantly activate the screen or open the email icon.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem?

    First, is the Mute switch activated?
    Mute switch is above the volume buttons on the left side of iPhone.
    If you see red/orange color the the mute is ON.
    Also check Settings > Sounds > for New mail, Text Tone, etc.. have sound entries?
    If that's not the case try
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Can not change or delete Calendar Entries in Wiki

    Hi all - thx for listening :-)
    Situation:
    Server OS X 10.6.8
    Group Wiki with Calendar running
    All users belong to the same group
    All users can log in via Safari or Firefox
    Wiki calendar running, worked fine over a long period
    Several "calendars" (I tend to call them categories; strange wording from Apple here…) were created
    Without changes to the system, single users suddenly could not make calendar entries or were able to create one and a second later when trying to change the same entry got the message: "You are not allowed to see this calendar"
    We were able to ignore this for some single users for a while but now…
    There are calendar entries, mostly repeated weekly dates, that can not be deleted or changed by any user. When we try to delete these, we do NOT get any "deleting from server"-status box, just a blank return to the wiki calender page.
    When we try to change the dates (e.g. set a new weekday, repeat-period, category (=calender) etc) , we DO get the "deleting from server"-status box, but the time-wheel keeps on rolling for hours without any impact
    What I tried out so far:
    • repair permissions
    • restart
    Web Server error log:

    Desperately seeking help… Much thanks in advance :-)

    Hi Fellows,
    I finally found a workaround!
    1. Locate /Library/CalendarServer/Documents/ and ADD local admin to permissions-list with R/W rights (I did not change the existing permissions to keep the calenderas working in the wiki
    2. Transfer permissions to all files in this folder
    3. locate the folder /Library/CalendarServer/Documents/calendars/__uids__/wi/ki
    4. locate the folder named after the wiki in which you want to change your calenders. Inside of it, you will find subfolders with several .ICS-files.
    5. Select one .ics-file and hit space to activate quicklook. quicklook will show you the name and dates of the calendar entry
    6. Find the desired calendar entry by moving up/down with the arrow keys and delete it - it will dissapear in the wiki after e browser refresh.
    Not really elegant but efficient if you are annoyed by looking at obsolete calendars. :-)
    Hope you all find this useful too - feedback welcome.

  • How Can I change my refresh rate to 75hz for on LCD using 91.47 drivers?

    HI,
    I use a 19" LCD and have always changed my refresh rate to 75hz to avoid ghosting in games like fifa 06 (60hz causes a nasty ghost on my 8ms panel).  I have been using the 81.98 drivers and could create an override to use 75.   The new driver will allow me to change the refresh rate to 75, but will not let me use it - I get the message "The custom resolution cannot be added".   I have coolbits2 installed.  Is there a registry setting that I can add to allow me to change the refresh rate?  If not, I'll just go back to the 81.98.  I am also using the DVI connection.
    Thank you,
    * This is on my Sli PC in my sig. *

    I know that on my particular LCD monitor, if I go above the recommended rates, then the screen will just go black and won't let me see anything.  Usually it displays a message telling me that it cannot display.  I think it especially does this with the DVI connection.
    You may have tried it allready, but just make sure that in your display properties you have unchecked the option to only display resolutions allowed by the monitor.
    You may also want to try and see if it will let you do it with a VGA connection instead of the DVI.
    Otherwise, you just may have to go back to the earlier driver.

  • Image will not change on the Browser...Saving on the Tomcat Problem...HELP

    Hi,
    I worte a Servlet project using JBuilder 7 and TOmcat 4. THis is basically what i am doing...
    I am getting an image from database and saving it to a folder in tomcat and then displaying it on a browser.
    This application is used by multiple users...
    I am saving the Image in Tom-cat...C:\JBuilder7\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps\examples\Image1.jpeg
    I am also displaying the image from that folder. The problem is when i run the application,
    I am seeing the same Image on the screen..Its creating the different Image file, but the image is the same.
    If i do a refresh on the page then it displays the new saved Image...
    Also, If i save the image on my local and then display it from my local it changes the images as I
    click on a Image list...
    Following is how it works when i save it and display it from my local, but if i run my application from
    another computer i am not able to see any of the images....Because its on my local.
         fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Image1.jpeg");
         <img src="file:///C|/Image1.jpeg" height="855" name="myimage" align="middle" style="position:absolute;">;
    And this is how i am doing when i am saving to the tomcat....I am able to display it on another computer
    but would not change the image...
    fos = new FileOutputStream("../webapps/examples/Image1.jpeg");
    <img src="../Image1.jpeg" height="855" name="myimage" align="middle" style="position:absolute;">;
    Can some one please tell me what could be the Problem....
    Any help will be greatly appreciated....Thanks...

    The browser caches images so that it doesn't have to always download the same image for different pages.
    You could:
    1: Save the new image with a different name and dynamically change the name in the html.
    2: Try setting the response headers to prevent the browser from caching the images.
    response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);

  • Swf in IE 7 not changing value when variable value in flashvar changes...

    Hi Friends,
    Below is decription of the file
    1. I have a flash file which is loading php variable through flash vars.
    2. The flash var variable contains the .txt filename in which data is kept.
    3. When I open the php page the swf loads with variable having .txt filename and value containing swf path.
    4. I have created timer in flash which check for change of value.
    5. When value changes the other flash file loads.
    6. All this works fine in all browsers except IE 7
    ONLY ISSUE WITH IE 7 is
    1. The swf not changing when value changes.
    WHAT I NOTICED
    1. When we click to load another tab in the same IE 7 browser the changed value that is another swf loads.
    WHAT I THINK
    1. Refreshing browser when value changes will solve the issue in IE7.
    Pls. let me know your suggestion and if possible solution to this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Visited Sites do not Change Color

    Since the recent Safari upgrade, the sites I have visited do not change color.  For example, if I do a Google search, click the first link and then either use the back button or the refresh button in the Google search field, the site I just visited is not displayed in a different color.  This is happening on other sites as well but not all of them.  Project Gutenberg works as I expected.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?  It makes searching more difficult since I now mentally have to keep track of which sites I've visited.  I realize this problem has cropped up before, but the answers are from several years (and versions) ago.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give me,
