| 1. When trying to login to the eAppsDB website, I enter my user ID and password and then click the 'Login' button. The next screen that I receive says 'You have been logged out of the system. To login again, click the link below to the login page'. Clicking the indicated link takes me back to the login screen from which I can only repeat the process. |
|
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, click on 'Tools', 'Internet Options', and then select the 'Privacy' tab. Make a note of the current setting. The 'Privacy' setting should be set on 'Medium' or below for eAppsDB to function properly. After moving the slider button to the appropriate setting, click on 'Apply' to save your change. After you have completed your eAppsDB session, you can follow the instructions above to change the setting back to the original value. For other browsers, please refer to the browser online help for further details. |
| 2. When trying to access the eAppsDB website, I get some strange behavior and/or error messages and/or a message appears that says 'Your browser does not support the services provided by this web site! Please consider upgrading to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater....' |
|
The site was designed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (and above) with Javascript enabled, cookies enabled, and a minimum screen resolution of 800 x 600. To download the latest version of Internet Explorer from Microsoft, please click here to visit their site. At this time we are unable to guarantee compatibility with Netscape or Opera. |
| 3. I have logged in to eAppsDB and am trying to enter my application, but eAppsDB tells me that I 'have been logged out of the system'. I received a phone call (or experienced some other interruption) during my eAppsDB session and had to be away from my computer for a short period of time. |
|
Due to the system resources that are consumed by the users connecting to eAppsDB, we are forced to limit the length of time that a person can be connected without having any activity ('activity' translates to any keyboard or mouse activity within your browser application window). Depending on system load, we set this timeout between 15 and 30 minutes. If you are working in an application form and are called away, be sure to save your information before leaving. If you have filled out an application form and step away from your computer for a period of time greater than 15 minutes without clicking on the 'Save' (or 'Add') button to save your data, your data will be lost if a session timeout occurs. |
| 4. I have forgotten my password and have not been successful using the 'Forgot Your Password' button that appears on the login screen. It won't send me an email containing my password or I receive a message stating that eAppsDB is 'unable to confirm my identity'. |
|
In order for eAppsDB to verify your identity and email your password to you, it requires that you enter the exact email address and first name that you used in the 'main' application form (the top form in the list). If your email address changed since initial entry and you did not update this information (or you left it blank), then eAppsDB has no way to find you. If you are having problems with this, please feel free to contact an eAppsDB support representative by clicking on the link at the bottom of the login page that says 'For support related to this website, click here.' |
| 5. When I finish filling out a page of the application and return to the 'Application Overview' screen, I can return to the form that I just completed and the information that I just entered is not there. What am I doing wrong? |
|
When you complete an application form and are ready to save your changes, be sure to click on the 'Save' or 'Add' button that appears at the bottom of the form. If you click on your browser 'Back' button to return to the 'Application Overview' screen, your changes are not saved. |
| 6. When I attach to the eAppsDB site, 'Security Alert' messages pop up on my screen warning me that the 'name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site'. What is wrong? |
|
If you try to use http://eAppsDB.com instead of http://www.eAppsDB.com to access the site, the address will not match the one that is embedded in the security certificate and you will receive messages of this type. Use the full URL (including the 'www') to access the site. |
| 7. I use an Apple Macintosh computer and am having problems with the site. What is wrong? |
|
Although we have had many Mac users successfully use eAppsDB, we have also had reports from Mac users of 'Security Alert' messages and other messages such as 'Unable to establish a secure connection to www.eappsdb.com'. We will post further information regarding this problem and possible solutions when it is available. In the meantime, to avoid further frustration on your part, please try access from a PC running Microsoft Windows. |
| 8. I am trying to register for an account on the Archdiocese of Chicago site and the blue 'Open the Site Search' button doesn't work. What is wrong? |
|
This problem is usually caused by the presence of a 'pop-up' stopper running on your PC. A 'pop-up' stopper is software that prevents marketing 'pop-up' windows from opening. There are many different products that offer this feature (Panicware, Google tool bar, Yahoo tool bar, etc) and some of them can be overridden by holding down the left CTRL key at the same time that you click on the blue 'Open the Site Search' button. If this doesn't work, you will either need to determine how to turn off the feature temporarily (the software vendors normally make this fairly easy), or contact eAppsDB tech support so that we can complete the registration process for you. |
| 9. When using eAppsDB, I receive pop-up windows that say 'Error - A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?' How can I stop this from happening? |
|
This can be prevented by turning off the script debugging feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer. To turn this feature off, click on 'Tools' in the IE toolbar area at the top of the window, and then click on 'Internet Options'. From there, click on the 'Advanced' tab, clear the check box by 'Disable script debugging' in the 'Browsing' section, and then click on 'OK' to exit the 'Internet Options' dialogue. |
| 10. When using eAppsDB, I receive a message across the top of my screen that says 'This browser does not support javascript, please enable the browser to support javascript or upgrade the browser.' |
|
You are either using an old browser version or javascript support has been turned off. To turn javascript support back on, click on 'Tools' in the IE toolbar area at the top of the window, and then click on 'Internet Options'. From there, click on the 'Security' tab, and then click on 'Custom Level'. Scroll down until you reach the section on 'Scripting' (close to the bottom) and click 'Enable' in the 'Active scripting' section. To exit and save your change, click on 'OK' and then 'OK' again. |
