Thanks to those that responded. I believe I have resolved the mythweb
issue. What I think happened is that the old version of mythweb used
height="nn" width="nn" parameters with the img= HTML markup for the
channel icons. This was how the old mythweb achieved the scaling. The
current mythweb no longer includes those parameters, but uses a CSS file
instead. So my browser, on machines other than the new FE/BE, was
caching the old CSS file (without the scaling class) but pulling the new
HTML. So I would see the new updated content, but the channel icons
would not be scaled. A simple refresh in the browser corrected this.
Seems silly, now.
