MickeyPath ticker doesnt work

[pinkerbell]

Over the past month I have recreated my MickeyPath countdown ticker many times. I make the one that counts down the days - Yet they aren't counting down at all!!!
Anyone else having this problem or now where I can get one that also counts down the days
TIA

more like 60 something days to AI annual meeting

I am having the same problem. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance!
I have been making these for years and this is the first time I am having this problem.

I created about 4 in the past week. It works for a couple of days and then stops. WTH!

Ok, for those wondering. A little more research revealed that it's a "Caching" issue. The image is likely working right (and updating) but your web browser is caching it. So a "Work-a-round" that I found (and am currently testing) is as follows.

Typically your Banner is something like:

[URL='http://www.**************/']
[IMG]http://www.**************/id/1465542003.png[/IMG]
[/URL]

but if we add a "Query" string to the image path, as follows:

[URL='http://www.**************/']
[IMG]http://www.**************/id/1465542003.png?dummy=1234[/IMG]
[/URL]

(note the ?dummy=1234) it forces the browsers to NOT cache as it appears as "Dynamic" Content (which it really is) and should, ideally work. The query string ?dummy=1234 can really be anything as long as the question mark is there followed by a "Name", an "Equal Sign" and "Value" so it could actually be ?q=1 or ?MaryHadALittleLamb=WhoseFleeceIsWhiteAsSnow.

Hope it works for you. Unfortunately, It seems to take at least 2 days for me to see the problem re-occur. We will see.
