having trouble refreshing

[dingfelder]

I have updated my includes/languages/english/index.php changing the welcome message to:

} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {

  // This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected

  /*Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/

  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to the mystore');

} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {

  // This section deals with displaying a subcategory

  /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/

  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to the mystore');

}

I also edited the orange template I uploaded, changing:
include/template/orange/css/stylesheet.css

.centeredContent{ text-align: center; }

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer, .singleBoxContainer{ margin-bottom: 10px; background: #fffbf3; border: 1px solid #f46e15; }

to

.centeredContent{ text-align: center; }

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer, .singleBoxContainer{ margin-bottom: 10px; background: #3366CC; border: 1px solid #3366CC; }

When I view though (in firefox on linux), I am not seeing my changes. I did hit shift-refresh and also tried clearing my cache.

Is there some magic caching going on?
any hints to getting it to refresh?

Are you sure the files were actually uploaded?

Try downloading them to a different folder on your computer and viewing the contents.

Did you upload the english.php file to an 'orange' override folder?

I am sure the files were uploaded.

I did not put the files in any override folder, i just located the file the string was located in, and changed it.
I found the location using the developers toolkit.

I understand that I should eventually save custom files (to prevent overriding in upgrades) but thought it would work without doing that.

Can you post a link to your site?

[milkyway]

make sure the active template is 'orange' and you upload changes to 'orange' folder structure

[dingfelder]

definitely did that.
