Frequently Asked QuestionsTop 10 Member FAQs:
Que1.Where did my download go?
Ans1.Every browser handles downloading differently. If your browser does not prompt you to save your file automatically, you havent actually downloaded anything. Click start download from the file successfully downloaded pop-up window. 1. Internet Explorer: typically lets you choose where to save a file. If you do not select a folder, it will default to the last place you saved a file. 2. Firefox: saves files to your desktop unless set otherwise in the preferences. 3. Safari: will generally send images to your downloads folder or your desktop. This can also be set in the preferences.
Que2.What do I do when my member name or password do not work?
Ans2.If your browser stays at the main welcoming screen after attempting to login, please ensure your system clock (date/time/year) is correct.
