How to fix common issues

Form not loading or blank page
  • Clear browser cache and cookies
  • Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Disable browser extensions (especially ad blockers)
  • Check internet connection
  • Check that the form hasn’t expired or closed
“This site can’t be reached” or similar errors
  • Try a different network, like mobile data, since school, workplace, or internet provider networks may block the form link
  • Turn off any VPN
  • Try a different browser or an incognito window
  • If it still doesn’t load, let the form owner know. They can change their form link to work around the block
Submit button not working
  • Ensure all required fields are filled in (look for red validation messages)
  • Scroll up to check for missed fields
  • Try refreshing and re-filling if the form seems stuck
You submitted the form, but the form owner has no record of it
  • Spam prevention may have stopped your submission from appearing in the form owner’s results
  • Contact the form owner directly to check whether your response came through
File uploads failing
  • Check file size limits
  • Try a different file format
  • Ensure a stable internet connection during upload
  • If your file is over the limit, it won’t be partly saved. Compress the file or split it into smaller files, then try uploading again
Form looks broken or misaligned
  • Try a different browser or device
  • Zoom to 100% (Ctrl/Cmd + 0)
  • Disable browser zoom or accessibility extensions that may interfere
Payment not going through
  • Check that your card details are correct and up to date
  • Make sure your card hasn’t expired
  • Check that your card has sufficient funds or available credit
  • Check that your card isn’t locked or frozen in your bank or wallet app
  • Try a different payment method if available
Missing partial responses or lost progress
  • Make sure you’re using the same device you used to start the form
  • If the form requires login, use the same email address to access your saved progress
  • If you think you may resume answering a form, avoid clearing browser data
