Document download issue fixed on EMC Community Network

We saw a recent spike of ECN user’s unable to download attachments from ECN. Our Community support team has fixed this problem about a week ago but many user’s continue to experience the reoccurring sign-in loop.

If you happen to see this problem it means you have not cleared your cookies/caches since the fix has been installed and your browser is still running with the old settings. Follow these simple steps now and you should be good to go for all your downloads from the EMC Community Network.

Clearing cache in Internet Explorer (IE):

Open IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options. Under ‘General’ tab click on delete under Browsing history. A new window will open, there tick the below two check boxes for cache and cookies and then click on delete.

Note: If IE doesn’t shows the Tools option then hit "Alt" button from the keyboard and it will show up below the address bar.
