Hey QVC--probably time to change out the Christmas images in your banner!

Or, with Christmas in July a mere six months away, are you just going to leave them?

You don't have this on the main screen of the forum?

Weird. It's there on my computer right now (1/24/16)

My forum main page has 3 female hosts looking at an iPhone or smart phone.

@gardensla, I think what you're seeing is due to old cookies or cache on your device. Try clearing cookies/cache/website data. Then close the browser and relaunch it.

hth!

That's what I have too - three women taking a selfie.

I figured as much so I cleared the cache and cookies back to the beginning of time, restarted and its still there. No matter which browser use, it's there.

My computer is haunted by the ghost of Christmas past, I guess!

Hah! @gardensla, I hope it's not haunted! In this case, you might have supercookies/ubercookies (LSOs or "flash cookies") on your device, or other corrupted data.

I looked around, but don't see anything Christmas.

Dang. How do I rid myself of those?

I'm so ready for them to take that photo down too. It was there long before the Christmas photos. Surely, they have new photos and it shouldn't take very long to switch them.

You cleared all browsing history and they're still there? Did you delete the temporary Internet files on your hard drive?

Yep. And, I unistalled flash too. After restarting that banner has now been updated in Firefox but remains in Chrome. Guessing something got screwy in Chrome. Guessing the solution is to uninstall and reinstall Chrome?

There are different ways to avoid LSOs or to remove them. You can use extensions/addons (like "BetterPrivacy" on Firefox, for example) to avoid them and/or remove them. There's software you can run periodically to clean them out, too.

They are pesky little devils. Here's one article with general information (scroll down to the "Clearing Flash cookies" section) and also you can do searches for articles on supercookies, ubercookies, flash cookies, or LSOs.

Chrome is likely still picking up on LSOs stored on your computer related to Chrome. You can either get the LSOs cleared out or try reinstalling the browser... but for future reference you want to avoid having these flash cookies remaining on your device.
