Browser caching, settings, and compatibility issues can sometimes cause glitches or display problems when using Ninety. This guide offers step-by-step solutions for addressing these problems, including general troubleshooting, browser-specific tips, and advanced fixes for persistent issues.
Common Causes of Browser-Related Issues
Browser-related issues typically arise from:
- Cached files interfering with app updates.
- Incorrect browser or device settings.
- Outdated browser versions.
- Zoom or theme settings conflicting with Ninety's UI.
- Browser extensions or pop-up blockers interfering with functionality.
- Multiple browser tabs causing conflicts.
- Timezone settings causing date display issues.
General Troubleshooting Steps
To address common glitches caused by caching:
- Log out of Ninety.
- Close all Ninety tabs or windows.
-
Clear your browser cache and cookies:
- Open your browser's settings.
- Select the option to clear browsing data.
- Choose a time range of 7 days or "All Time" for a comprehensive clearing.
- Ensure both cache and cookies are selected for clearing.
- Confirm and complete the action.
- Restart your browser completely and log back into Ninety.
Advanced Troubleshooting for Persistent Issues
If clearing your cache doesn't resolve display or functionality problems, try these steps:
Step 1: Verify Browser and Device-Specific Factors
- Switch to a different browser. If using Google Chrome, try Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Safari to determine if the issue is browser-specific.
- Test in incognito or private browsing mode. This bypasses stored cache and extensions that might cause conflicts.
- Check your device settings. Confirm if your device is set to dark mode or another theme that could override Ninety's appearance.
- Test on another device. Determine if the issue is isolated to a specific device or browser.
- Disable browser extensions temporarily. Extensions or pop-up blockers can interfere with Ninety's functionality.
Step 2: Address Persistent Display and Loading Issues
If Ninety still doesn't display or load correctly, take the following actions:
- Update your browser to its latest version. Outdated browsers may have compatibility issues with Ninety.
- Ensure your browser window is maximized and set to 100% zoom.
-
Reset zoom settings if needed:
- Go to "View" > "Actual Size."
- Alternatively, use the shortcut keys (Ctrl+0 or Cmd+0).
-
Clear site-specific data for Ninety:
- In Chrome: Go to chrome://settings/content/all, search for "ninety.io," and delete stored data.
- This removes all stored permissions and data for the site.
Step 3: Check for Multiple Tab Conflicts
- Close all Ninety tabs except one. Multiple tabs can sometimes cause conflicts or loading issues.
- Log out and back in using only a single browser tab.
- Avoid opening multiple Ninety sessions simultaneously.
Browser-Specific Troubleshooting
Chrome (Recommended Browser)
Chrome provides the best experience with Ninety. If issues persist in Chrome:
- Confirm Chrome is fully updated.
- Clear cache and cookies specifically for Ninety using the general troubleshooting steps.
- Try Chrome incognito mode to test if extensions are causing issues.
- Reset Chrome settings if problems continue (under Settings > Advanced > Reset and clean up).
- Check for conflicting Chrome extensions and disable them temporarily.
Safari and Other Browsers
If Ninety works in Safari but not Chrome (or vice versa):
- Compare browser versions and update as needed.
- Check browser-specific extensions or settings that might interfere.
- Clear browser-specific cache and cookies.
- Test with browser extensions disabled.
Troubleshooting Specific Issues
Billing and Payment Loading Problems
If you experience endless loading or spinning circles when trying to select plans or access billing:
- Try incognito or private browsing mode first.
- Clear cache and cookies specifically for Ninety.
- Ensure pop-up blockers aren't preventing Stripe payment portal access.
- Try a different browser if the issue persists.
Knowledge Portal Content Not Loading
If 90 Resources or other Knowledge Portal content appears blank:
- Clear browser cache for "All Time" rather than just recent data.
- Test in a different browser to confirm it's browser-specific.
