Troubleshooting

Can’t Log In.

There are two things to try when you can’t log in to Matific. 

1. Try clearing your browser cache.  Here is a site that will let you choose your browser, and then give instructions for clearing the cache.  http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/  (Your browser may have saved a “broken link." It won’t matter how often you try to log in if it does that. You won’t get there. Your computer keeps reverting to the wrong link.  Clearing the cache will remove that saved broken link.)

2. Try using a different browser to access the subscription. Subscriptions tend to work better in Google Chrome.  If you usually work in Google Chrome, try using Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox.
