Advanced settings to their defaults. Click the ‘OK’ button to
save these changes.

‘Delete Cookies’ and ‘Delete Files’, when you click on ‘Delete
Files’ a box will appear in which you will have to check the box

Firewalls
Although we have taken care to design the site to be compatible
with the most popular firewall vendors, it is quite possible that
specific firewall settings or configuration could limit your
experience of the website. As a simple test,
you could shut down your firewall for a few seconds while you
reload the site.
If you are still experiencing trouble, it is most likely that
your firewall is not the root cause. If the problem is no longer
evident, your firewall is most likely blocking/changing certain
content. It would be a good idea to contact your firewall vendor
for support. |
