[It gets worse: see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Names for more confusing distinctions] As its name suggests, "commonPrint.css" is the stylesheet used when somebody *prints* a page from the wiki; the styling used when the page is *displayed* is mainly contained, I think, in "monobook.css" (or, more generally, <name of skin>.css, where the skin could have your own name). That sounds a lot like a caching issue - various levels of cache, on the server and in your browser, will end up with out-of-date versions of the page. To display the latest version you will need to do a "forced reload" in your browser - normally, this requires holding down Shift, Control, or some similar key, while clicking the "refresh" or "reload" button, or pressing the keys for a normal reload. I believe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache has correct instructions for several browsers. If you have changed deeper code within the software, you may also need to bypass some of the *internal* caching features, by adding "?action=purge" to the address [or "&action=purge" if the URL already has a "?" in]. AFAIK, this shouldn't be necessary if you are only changing the skin. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins and the file "docs/skins.doc" within your installation of the software may or may not have up to date descriptions of the skinning system, and may or may not help you find appropriate tips... You might also want to look through the archives of this and related mailing lists - put "site:mail.wikimedia.org" with some search terms into Google. Happy hacking! :) -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]
