Solutions to Common Problems

Problem: You get a message saying "Security Certificate has expired"

Problem: You get a message saying “You need to 'enable cookies' in your web browser settings.”

Problem: An item which you have added to your basket does not appear in the basket when you go to the 'View Basket' page.

Problem: Your prices were being displayed and then they stop being displayed

Problem: You get a message saying "Security Certificate has expired"

Certain older web browsers contain a security feature call a Digital Certificate that expired on 31/12/99. We believe this problem affects Netscape browser version 4.05 and earlier on both Mac and PC. The problem also affects Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 on Mac and earlier. We are not aware of such a problem on PC versions of Internet Explorer. The solution is to upgrade your browser.

Problem: You get a message saying "You need to 'enable cookies' in your web browser settings."

When you first install a web browser, cookies are usually enabled by default. If cookies have been disabled and you now want to enable them, you will need to do something along the lines of the following instructions, depending on your browser version. [Please note that these instructions are provided in good faith as a service to our customers. J Bishop and Company cannot accept any responsibility for any adverse impact or inconvenience from following the instructions. If in doubt, it's best to ask a suitably experienced person to adjust your web browser's settings.]

Problem: An item which you have added to your basket does not appear in the basket when you go to the 'View Basket' page.

The most likely explanation is that you need to enable cookies in your browser. "Cookies" are small items of information stored on your computer which help our web site keep track of what products you have added to your basket. No personal information is stored by our web site in "cookies".

If you are a Mac user and you have checked that cookies are enabled and you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, to be sure to see the latest contents in your basket, click the Reload button at the top of your browser. For a permanent fix, you need to change your Mac Internet Explorer browser settings as follows: Select Edit from the top menu, then Preferences, then scroll down the list until you find Advanced under the Web Browser section. Click on Advanced and then click on the Always button under the "Update Pages:" heading.

Problem: Your prices were being displayed and then they stop being displayed

This can happen if you leave your PC for a long period after signing on and then return to carry on with your order more than 90 minutes later. The solution is to sign on again.
