Technical Issues FAQ

Synced won't load!
There are a number of things you can attempt if the flash part of Synced does not load, such as:
 * Doing a hard refresh or clearing your cache- this is the first thing you should attempt to do if Synced will not load.
 * Turning on Javascript. Javascript must be on in order for Synced to work correctly.
 * Set script blockers to allow Synced. Some script blockers may block Synced and cause it not to load.
 * Check your firewall. If your firewall does not allow Synced, it may cause an error message to appear.
 * Update your flash. Synced requires at least Flash 9 to function, but it is best to be up to date with the latest version.

I tried these and Synced still won't load!
If you're absolutely sure you tried all of the above and have double-checked that your firewall is not blocking Synced you can post to Bug Hunters (<Update with link later) so that people may help you. Please include:
 * Your operating system and version.
 * The name and version of your web browser.
 * Your flash version number.
 * A screenshot or detailed explanation of the situation and any error messages. It is not possible to help you if you simply post something such as "it's not working!".

Something is wrong with my music or I can't visit a room?
If the room has issues because of music you may choose to mute the volume on the Synced browser so the music will not load. You can then go in and remove the music. You may also copy the URL to send along with a description of the issue to staff via help's contact us option.
