Based on click-through, that was my most popular newsletter of the year! For those who have not seen it, the handout from that edition of the newsletter is included below. Feel free to share it with your pals. (Click on the image to see it in full size).

These are the 6 things to attempt:

An easy way to discover out is to visit downforeveryoneorjustme.com then go into the URL of the website youre attempting to use. If youre familiar with the Windows command terminal you can likewise try pinging the address of the website youre attempting to utilize.

2. Is your internet browser upgraded? This isnt as typical as it used to be, but in some circumstances of a website not working effectively the cause can be traced to utilizing an obsoleted variation of a web internet browser. If youre using an older variation of a web browser, not only will some websites not work correctly, you are likewise opening yourself as much as more possible security dangers.

3. Do you have cookies allowed? Numerous websites require cookies in order to use you the very best possible experience.

4. Are you using a pop-up blocker? It is not unusual for a website to utilize a pop-up window for account log-ins. If the pop-up is obstructed, you wont be able to log-in.

5. Have you enabled cam and or microphone access? If youre trying to use a web-based video or audio modifying tool, youll need to make sure your cam and microphone are accessible.

If none of the steps above have actually dealt with the problem, rebooting your computer system just may be the thing that repairs your problem. You might be shocked how frequently that works.
