Troubleshooting.
Even with all of the above precautions
there is still a possibility that pages may still be cached. This is due to the
way that your browser handles web content and sometimes caches content even
when it is asked not to. If you have problems logging into our system or if you
have difficulty with submitted information not showing up in the system, try
the following methods to solve the problem. Your first step should be to hit
the Refresh or Reload button in your web browser. You may need to hit
Reload/Refresh once or twice to see your results. This is especially true when
working with Netscape Communicator. If you are still experiencing difficulty
close down your web browser and start it back up again. Log back into the
system and see if the problem was resolved. Problems can also be encountered in
a network environment such as when your connection passes through another
institution on it’s way to the Internet. In this case you will need to
contact your network supervisor or technology coordinator for assistance
on getting the problem resolved.
Screen Resolution - Although
our website can be viewed at any of the standard monitor resolutions we
recommend viewing the site at a resolution of 800x600.
