Troubleshooting
Most of the time Photosymbols works fine for people, their computer, network, and web browser. But sometimes things don’t work quite right. Here’s some information about the most common issues.
Check your browser
It’s good to first check any browser issues.
Do you have the same issue using another web browser? Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Safari or Firefox?
