We are having some users of our website report issues with page appearance.
Some troubleshooting indicates use is not getting latest style sheet updates - style sheets are being cached in users browser.

I am seeing this as page source:

<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/fonts.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/animate.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/style.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/default.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/custom.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/skin.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

I have read there should be a "?v=N" added to the href...
<link href="/Themes/Sample/Content/style.css?v=2" rel="stylesheet"/>

Where/How can I modify these link href values?

Also, is there a way to expire pages as well so entire pages are not cached in users' browsers forever? We've made some content changes to web forms quite some time ago and still getting some form submissions from users with old cached pages.

Thank you?

Hi Kevin,

I can't comment on the v=2 issue, but I'd like to know where you are seeing this in the source? Is this view html in the browser?
Thank you for your support!

Hi Kevin,

Are you running in debug mode? Those should be combined into one minimized CSS, which if you turn off will force the browser to re-download the CSS I'd think.
Thank you for your support!
