Background Image won't change

Hi. I've been trying to put together my website (www.patrickkattner.com), and I'm trying to change the background image of the site. I know you do that under the edit Main section, but every time I delete the image and upload a new one, indexhibit just reverts it back to the first image I ever uploaded. This is my first attempt at web design so I'm sure I'm not doing something right.

How can I get indexhibit to actually upload the image I want rather than reverting back to the initial image?

mine is www.emblembooks.com
but i've deleted the original background image
as i was unable to update the new one.
(it kept reverting to the first uploaded background image, even though i had deleted it.)
also tried uploading other new background images but had the same result.

well... nothing to see = nothing to say
except an obvious question: did you refresh your page view after you've placed the new image?

i did. but funnily enough it is now working okay.
previously when i would upload a new image, the old image would remain in the preview and would show on the website.

now it is working as it should ... it kind of fixed itself!

thanks for your responses rickykappa.

ciao

Yes i used to encounter the same problem too. Although it works fine after sometimes (which you won't know when), it will happen again in future when you want to change the background, like right now for me.

Even if i've deleted the old image to be replaced in my server directory, but it will still be there and keeps revert back everytime i upload any other image.

Is there any way to actually fix this? Sharing would be greatly appreciated!

It is really frustrating especially when i need to tweak the background.
