Thanx - 

but I’m at a loss to reproduce this result. Not sure how you are accessing the 
pgaes to get this result as when I view the previews the correct boxart shows 
each time. 

Perhaps as simple as freshing your browser …

or Something else??? 

IOW … I don’t see the same problem you are experiencing.
