It’s not working!

Chances are, something your browser, computer, tablet or smartphone is doing for you “automatically” is making your life difficult. Check out the section below to see if the solution to your problem is here. If you’re still having trouble, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll get back to you asap.

I haven’t received my password reset link via email

If you’ve requested a password reset via the Log In page Forgot Password link, it’s probably in your Spam, Updates or Promotions folder (some email applications do “auto-sorting” of your email, too). You can also check whatever folder your email application uses for “all mail”. The email will be from [email protected] so you could also search for that email before contacting us.

How to empty your browser, tablet or smartphone cache

The browser cache is the “static” (unchanging) version of a web page that your browser, computer, tablet or smartphone creates and saves to make a website load faster on your next visit. Sometimes, though (like maybe now), you don’t want to see the “old” version – you need to access a page that has been changed since your last visit. Time to empty your cache, which used to be easy to do, but modern browsers (on computers and on smartphones or tablets) often bury this option in their menus or don’t do a complete job when you delete browser history. Tablets and mobile phones are especially fond of hoarding caches, by the way – this website never serves up a “cached” page to mobile devices but your phone or table doesn’t care, so it does.

Here are instructions and links for doing this on the most popular browsers and devices. Please note that you should keep your browser up-to-date no matter which one you use.

Chrome / Safari / Firefox / Opera / Edge / iOS / Android / Brave

Some browsers also offer plugins (for desktop computer) that you can add to make doing this quicker. Here are a few that have good ratings – you might want to search and test to see which you like best.

I can’t register/log in – my browser keeps entering my old or invalid password

Cookies are files created by your web browser, at the request of a website, that are stored on your hard drive. They keep track of your visits and activity to deliver you better user experiences when you next visit. When you log in or fill in forms (like when registering or making a purchase), a cookie is created as you go from step to step during a “session” (which is what any interactive time you spend there is called). Sometimes this creates a problem for you when you have a new password for a site you’ve already logged in to (like this one), so you need to erase not only your browser cache but any cookies that are hanging around as well. You can often choose to clear cache and cookies at the same time and you can usually view any saved cookies in your browser settings or preferences file, from within the browser.

The registration form doesn’t like my password choice

For security reasons, this site requires strong passwords. That means choosing a password that contains at least 8 characters minimum, 1 lowercase letter, 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character. We know that makes it tough, but we don’t want to be hacked by a nasty bot. Also see above for how to delete cookies if you keep trying and failing to make an acceptable password.
