Can you please check my search results page?

I recently changed the color scheme of my site, so I had to change the colors for adsense too. On my search results page, the colors still match my old look, but I changed them late Monday night. I previewed my page on google's custom search site, and the colors are correct there, but still not on my site. I"m wondering if it's just my computer. What does it look like on yours? the background should be the same color as my site's background, and the ads should have a brown border. Here is the link. Thanks.

The background is yellow but I'm seeing blue ads. Did you get the new code when you changed the color?

Yes, the ads are actually supposed to be blue with the grey links. I get a much better CTR with with that color scheme, as opposed to using colors that match my site colors.

Oh OK, I had it backward. So I was seeing the right thing then? Maybe you were just cached. Are you seeing it now?

It is still showing up with the purple background. Am I clearing my cache correclty? I went to Tools, then Internet Options, then clicked Delete in the browsing history section.

Hmmm.... Did you try another browser?

You could try forcing a page refresh using ctrl+f5

Ctrl+f5 did not work either. Looks like today a got a click on the channel that I set up for my old color scheme, so I'm guessing I still have the old code in there. But if that's the case, I don't understand how you were able to see the yellow background? I'm just going to re-upload the page with the code for the new color scheme and see if that works.

Ok, I am still having an issue with this. I rebuilt my search results page and made sure the code for my new color scheme is the one I used. But on my computer, it is still coming up with the purple background

. What am I doing wrong? I went back to preview the page on google custom search and it still shows up correctly there, but not on my site. I cleared my cache again, tried Ctrl+F5 again, and still nothing.

Have you tried looking on another computer?

I have tried from my home and work computer and it shows up purple on both. Do you think it is because I use both of these computers to log into my google account? I don't see how that would make a difference though.

Actually no, this is only the history of your browser. On Firefox it is on:

Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Clear Now
