Some Issues with K2

Hi, I can't find any documentation on K2 - which sucks!

On the images around the main slideshow, I can see the titles (for example on the demo where it says "united colours of..." and "catch a free ride" etc) only on SAFARI..
They will NOT show up on Firefox - and before you ask - yes, I have the latest version of Firefox. It seems as though it should work because when I view your demo, I can see these headings.

This is obviously a big problem - is there a fix??

Another issue I am having with K2 is that I update an image, I clear the cache on my machine as well as on Joomla, and the image will not load!! They have loaded before, but now I am trying to CHANGE the picture and it's not changing!

This component is really terrible! Not user friendly at all.. I am very disappointed.

Hi

From my experience i can say that K2 is very powerful (just needs some handling experience) and the last version solved some problems with images cache.

About the first issue, i must see it live because i can't reproduce your problem.

The second issue, before adding new image please try to select "Check this box to delete current image ..."
option and save. Them add your new image.
This problem was normal on previous version, but the new version of K2 doesn't have this issue. But try nevertheless.

I eventually decided to scrap using K2 completely and created my own images with my own headings and slotted them into position, changed a bit of css, and voila..

Unfortunately, I'm pretty pressed for time, so really don't have the time to learn how to use K2 by messing around with it.

I do, however, think that someone needs to put some kind of documentation together to make the process more manageable.
