Q. I'm having problems accessing a page on the Web site. What do I do?

A. This is a common problem. Usually users will see an "Oops!" page. If you're getting this error, it's usually a problem with cookies.

Here's what we would recommend:

1) Sign out of Kim's Club (if applicable)

2) Delete the cookies and temporary Internet files


In Firefox:
  • Click Tools>>Clear Private Data
  • Check Cookies, Cache and Authenticated Sessions
  • Click Clear Private Data Now
In Internet Explorer 7:

  • Click Tools>>Internet Options
  • Under Browsing History, click Delete Files
    • Click Delete Files>>Yes
    • Click Delete Cookies>>Yes
In IE6:
  • Tools>>Internet Options
  • Click Delete Cookies>>OK
  • Click Delete Files>>OK

3) Close all copies of your browser. Reboot.

Note: Some people have "cookie blockers" that may be part of the issue. If you're still having the "Oops" page appear after taking the steps above, you may want to temporarily disable your cookie blocking program. If this solves the problem, you need to make adjustments to the settings in the cookie blocking program.

Q. How do I view newsletters in a larger font?

A. If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express:
1. Save the e-mail to your desktop. Make sure it saves as an HTML file (*.htm, *.html).
2. Open the file in Firefox (other browsers may not work). You may need to right-click the file and choose "Open With…" and select Firefox.
3. Once opened, hold the CTRL button while scrolling with the scollwheel on your mouse to increase or decrease the text size. If you do not have a scrollwheel, you can go to View >> Text Size >> Increase.

If you access your e-mail through a Web mail program, see if this scrolling feature will work for you while viewing your message. This will probably work best using Firefox as well.

If for some reason you are still unable to access your newsletter with larger sized-fonts for readability, you might want to read them from the Web site. The Cool Site of the Day and Weekend Newsletter are both available online.

The Cool Site of the Day is available each morning on the Cool Sites page. Weekend Newsletters are archived here each Monday morning.
