IT Glitches - some workarounds whilst it gets sorted…

[BRFCS.com]

Hello everyone…we are aware that some users may be having some issues whilst we complete an upgrade this weekend.

Following a bit of frantic testing in the last 30 minutes it appears that users of Google Chrome browser *should* be fine but any users of Safari (so probably iPhone/iPad users) may need to view the site in PRIVATE mode whilst this is resolved. 

Apologies for any inconvenience….⚪️🔵

 

 

 

BTW - if anyone is curious…it cuts the tops off boiled eggs…😆

We know what the Safari issue is…it’s that rogue cookie again that did something similar earlier this year…

If you are getting an error message - to clear it - please follow the instructions in the attached PDF document…👍

 

So you need to clear site specific cookies 1.1.pdf

I’m loving you think we need instructions on accessing private browsing 😁🤨

I've never heard of Safari but I know where the Incognito button is 😁

Mine still not sorted on my iPad. However, I’ve downloaded DuckDuckGo as my browser and it works fine on there.

The issue is caused by a specific BRFCS cookie lurking in whatever your default browser might have been (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox etc).

If you know how to clear your browser cache, that gets rid of it but it’s a bit of a blunderbuss approach & might clear out some other useful information you’d prefer not to lose.

The ‘sniper’ approach is to delete just the rogue BRFCS cookie. 

The pdf guide we put together (on page 1 of this thread) was based on the most popular combinations of device/operating software & browser that we had experience of…

Using a (new) different browser solves it because the cookie isn’t lurking in there from previous activity basically.

If anyone wants to /needs to access BRFCS using their preferred browser - the best option is probably to Google the combination of device/operating system & browser with a specific text in the search of “deleting a site specific cookie”.

The other option is to be patient & eventually it will refresh & the problem will disappear…think of it as “the ownership cookie” 😆

Haven't a clue what you're talking about, just glad that mine works fine. 😁

its still not working on firefox not sure how to find the cookie

[Ianrally]

I couldn't find the particular cookie either, but no worries, I've installed Chrome on my iPhone as my default browser and all works fine.........However on my desktop where I have always used Chrome as my default browser The BRFCS site comes up with the error message. Thought you might want to know.

Samsung Internet & chrome not working for me on Android. - cleared cookies on phone yesterday, but came back.. Desktop Chrome ok.

Currently using DuckDuckgo on android & seems to be ok 🤞
