#art-page-background-glare-image

{ background-image: url('/cms/Data/Sites/30/skins/aa-SoberSA/images/Page-BgGlare.png');

background-repeat: no-repeat;

height: 441px;

width: 362px;

margin: 0; }

Above is the css line which is responsible for the bubbles. Just remove the background-image.

Hi Tomasz;

Account disabled, thanks!.

Will changing the "machine key" effect current main-site or sub-site usage? Please suggest a method of determining a new valid "machine key." Thanks!!

style.css and style.ie6.css both reference Page-BgGlare.png and have been /* */ commented out. A different browser, and the bubbles are still there. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Dale 

>>Go to Administration > Advanced Tools > Design Tools > Cache Tool and click the "reset skin guid" button.

If you don't have the above opption just edit the web.config file (whatever ... add a space somewhere) and save it. It should reset the cache. The bubbles should disappear.

Web.config touch, lengthy time after refresh... still bubbly.

>>You will need to copy the skin to a new folder and set the site to use the new copy.

Joe, the trick with "editing" the web.config, doesn't reset the css cache? 

I understand that changing the skin to another one and back to the initial also doesn't guarantee that the cache will reset. I am thinking how to avoid in such case copying the skin.

I understood about copying the skin to the new directory and pointing the site to the new one. But I was just wondering weather switching it to the other one and back to the initial wouldn't also help. But as you wrote - it is not the solution.  Thank you very much for the answers.
