It was the same for me yesterday. This morning they seem to be working.

Does anyone have contact information for the appropriate person at the Census to report these problems? Something a bit more direct than the Feedback link would be nice.

[CTPP] Trouble-shooting FactFinder session problems in IE9

by Graham

Wendell, others- The following tip was posted to the SDC list by Delphine at State of West Va. It may help you solve your problem... From: sdc_mlist-bounces(a)lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:sdc_mlist-bounces(a)lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Coffey, Delphine D Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 10:16 AM To: sdc_mlist(a)lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [State Data Centers] Figured out my problem with AFF apparently, because I have Internet Explorer 9 something quirky happens. The Bureau uses IE 8. So, if you have IE 9, here's the steps we used to straighten me up... I opened up my IE 9 browser homepage. I clicked on "Tools" on the top bar. Then I clicked the first line that says, "Delete Browsing History" Note: there should only be 3 boxes checked - 1. Temporary Internet Files 2. Cookies 3. History Then click the Delete button at the bottom of the box. That did it! The American Factfinder page I am used to opened up after I clicked on my AFF bookmark tab and on the "new" AFF page opened, I scrolled down to "What we provide" and clicked "Get Data" on the American Community Survey line. Hope this helps anyone else having the same problems. Delphine D.
