Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Browser
Reduce Browser Plugins/Toolbars and Get Rid of Spyware/Adware
It's very easy to "load" up with extraneous software. Plugins, toolbars and spy/adware all use up RAM. Brainstorm It! and SiteBuilder keep huge amounts of data in memory. Their performance suffers if your browser does not "leave" enough RAM for SBI! to work well.
Minimal system configuration to run SBI! are: Windows 8, Mac OS X, or Linux, with at least 2 GB of RAM. If you're at the minimum of 2 GB, keep browser plug-ins and/or extensions to a minimum, and close all other browser windows.
If you can't get rid of plugins and extensions, consider installing a memory cleaner on your computer. Whenever you see that your memory is running low, click on the number to free up some RAM.
Allow Pop-Ups
SBI! sometimes needs to open a new browser window. Some pop-up blockers might not permit that. It will seem like the link does not work.
To correct this... Either hold down the Ctrl key when you click or add "sitesell.com" as an "allowed site."
Accept Cookies and Enable JavaScript
SBI! sets cookies to store and swap data between screens. It also uses JavaScript. Browsers accept these by default. However, if you disable cookies or JavaScript, you'll have problems using SBI!. If you have disabled either of these, please enable and never disable these on your browser.
Date and Time
Make sure the date and time of your computer have been correctly set. Cookies time out based on perceived time delays.
