There are two known root causes of this problem:

  1. Network issue

    We have come across instances where corporate firewall blocked access to our application.

    Solution:

    On the same computer, access the site from your home network with the corporate VPN switched off. If it works, then it confirms that the corporate firewall is indeed blocking the application. In this case, contact your organization's network administrator and request to whitelist our site.

    Alternatively, you can try using mobile internet on your mobile device. If the site loads, it confirms a problem with either your network or something on your computer itself such as a firewall or a browser plugin.

  2. Browser issue

    Internet Explorer version 10 or below is incompatible.

    Solution:

    Use a compatible browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or IE version 11.

    If you are already using a compatible browser on your computer, then clear your browser cache, close all the windows and tabs of your browser, relaunch your browser, and access BrainBOK again.

    If the above steps do not resolve the problem, temporarily disable the plugins on your browser and try to access the application. If it works, then isolate the plugin causing the problem.

If the problem persists, email us with the results of the steps mentioned above, and provide the following additional information:

  • A screenshot of the loading page, to confirm that it's the same issue.
  • The type of network you are using (home / work).
  • The internet bandwidth/speed.
  • Browser name and version.
  • OS name and version.
  • Computer's hardware configuration (CPU and RAM).
  • Were you ever able to access BrainBOK on this machine before?
  • Does the site load using mobile internet?
