Q
How do I turn on cookies?
A
Cookies are small files that are stored by your computer that allow the site to track important data about you as a user (such as the fact that you are logged in). Allowing such files to be created/stored is necessary for the site to function properly. More information about what cookies are and why they are needed can be found here. If you're having problems logging in (or remaining logged in), you may have cookies disabled. Instructions on how to enable cookies can be found here.
Q
How do I clear my cache?
A
If you open any part of the site (a page, course, module, etc) and it isn't showing what you expect (such as missing saved data within a course), you might be seeing a "cached" version. This is where your web browser (in order to make sites load faster) shows you a version of the page it has saved locally, rather than requesting a new version of the page from the site. In order to prevent this, you can clear your browser's cache (its local store of web pages). Instructions on how to do this for various browsers can be found here. Once you've done this, refresh the page. This is also a possible solution to login problems.
