Yea, I didn't check my cache, but I remember visiting this site from another PC, and the picture he referred to WAS VISIBLE THERE.
So maybe it really had something to do with location.

 

 

 

So, somehow, I could see it there, but you can't. Still a cache problem? You said something about gifs "expiring" and "renewing", is that in any way related?

Please, please, read or don't bother.

 

 

The only way to find out is to CLEAR THE FUCKING CACHE ON THE COMPUTER YOU ARE SEEING IT ON! You seem to daft to figure it out on your own, but that means BOTH fucking computers. The computer you posted on, and on that other computer you saw the image on.

I don't know why that other computers could see the image. Only you can find that out for sure. If it is a public computer, it is possible someone else looked at that picture before, or that you looked at the picture at some point and forgot, and that it was in your cache. 

The regional thing is extremely unlikely, but I suppose it isn't out of the realm of possibility. If you cleared the cache on both computers and they can still see the image, then the problem is obviously something else. I am still nearly 100% certain it is showing up because the image is in the cache of both computers. Depending on the browser's settings, the image could have been visited months or even years before and the computer could still be holding a saved copy.

Well, it was a public computer, but as far as I know, one that clears its cache everytime it's turned off.

I certainly hadn't looked at it there (I mean the original page), but I guess IF what I was told by the responsible student was somehow not true and it stores images for years, then yea, I guess the probability that someone else had visited it isn't that off.
I mean, it's rather counter-intuitive, but then I found it by googling "old man dancing" and it was the funniest picture there, so I guess it's possible.

I'll be sure to check in the future.

As to your question of whether or not I am feeling stupid now. Yes, I do rather. Making attempts at trying to carry on intelligent conversations with a lesser evolved simian life form makes me feel very stupid indeed. The smart thing to do would be to toss you a banana leaving you contented and walk away.
