Changed css isn't showing up on installed forum package

I installed My Little Forum on my website. I changed the style.min.css file to give it a different look. When I download that file from the server and open it, it has the changes I made. But the forum displays the same as before.

The instructions say that is the file to change. The forum is here. What should I do here?

This is the code that has changed, from the minified file:

body{color:#ccc;background:#333;margin:0;padding:0;font-       family:verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:100.01%;}
a{color: rgba(255, 200, 0, 1);text-decoration:none;}
a:visited{color:rgba(255, 150, 0, 1);}
a:hover, a:active {color: rgba(255,255,60,1); background-color: rgba(50, 50, 0, 1);}
a.stronglink{padding-left:13px;color:rgba(255,255,60,1);text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;background:url(images/bg_sprite_1.png) no-repeat 0 4px;}
a.stronglink:visited{color:rgba(255, 150, 0, 1);}
a.stronglink:hover{color:rgba(255,255,60,1);text-decoration:underline;background:url(images/bg_sprite_1.png) no-repeat 0 -46px;}
a.stronglink:active{color:rgba(255,255,60,1);}
#top{margin:0;padding:0;height:4.4em;color:#000;background:#d2ddea url(images/bbnav2.png) no-repeat 0 0;}

Your problem is to do with browser caching. From time to time you may have to forcibly tell your computer to request for the information from the website server again. As explained here...

...the browser stores the information on your computer so it reloads it from your computer, not from the actual site...

...the problem comes when you make a small change to your site and the browser doesn't recognize it as a significant change, so it reloads the same page you just looked at. The solution is to clear or empty your browser's cache...

It has nothing to do with your website, it's purely all local work. There are some cheeky ways to force your users to update their chache. This answer is a good way of doing so.
