Troubleshoot Browser Related Issues

I can’t click on objects/objects don’t load

Typically this is caused by something in the browser or computer interfering with normal network interaction. It can also be caused by certain Javascripts added to the network.

  • Make sure your browser is supported. If you aren’t sure what browser version you’re using, you can visit useragentstring.com
  • Perform a “hard refresh” in your browser (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+R / Mac: Command+Shift+R)
  • Try another browser – a robust browser like Firefox or Chrome is recommended
  • Make sure Javascript is enabled in your browser
  • Double check your security and ad blocking software – installed applications and browser add-ons (like Ghostery or Adblock Plus) can block Javascript, which is required for proper network functionality
  • Add-ons from FunWebProducts are known to conflict with Ning Networks – if you are using any of these add-ons or notice them on useragentstring.com you’ll want to disable them while testing
  • If you are a Network Creator, check your Custom Code page (in My Network tab) - some Javascript can conflict with proper network functionality
  • Make sure cookies are enabled in your browser
  • Provide us with your computer and browser details

Chat/Videos/Photo Slideshow won’t load

All of these features run on Adobe Flash Player – if Flash isn’t installed, is outdated , or is corrupt, they may not display properly. You can download Flash here.

I can’t see text or links

It’s possible that your network’s appearance settings have been set such that text has a similar color to the background. If this is the case, you can read text by highlighting it with Ctrl+A (PC) or Command+A (Mac). In this case, the Network Creator will need to go to the Appearance page in the My Network tab and modify the colors on the network.

I get signed out when I click on a link in the network

This is likely being caused by a corrupt, outdated, or missing cookie.

  • Try another different browser to determine if the issue stems from the one you’re using; if so…
  • Make sure cookies are enabled in your browser
  • Clear your browser’s cookies
  • Clear your browser’s cache
