- Have you reset your EOSocial cache?
The first thing to do when experiencing any issues with the platform is reset the EOSocial cache.
Steps: Click your name (on the top right > Preferences > System Settings > Reset Cache
- Can you replicate the issue in Private Browsing/Incognito browsing mode?
If resetting your cache hasn't worked, please try to replicate the exact same issue in a Private Browsing/Incognito window. Here are some instructions on how to open a new window based on the browser/operating system.
If you're unable to replicate the issue in a Private Browser/Incognito window this would mean the issue is related to your browser and we recommend clearing all your browsing history/cache to solve the issue.
- Can you replicate the issue on a different computer?
Sometimes certain applications (e.g. anti-virus or any other PC add-ons) can interfere with the web app, we recommend trying to replicate the issue again on a completely different computer.
