When I try to print a receipt in Firefox I can’t scroll to the bottom of the page.

This is a problem which seems to be unique to Firefox where it automatically disables scroll bars on pop up windows.  To fix it type about:config into the address bar at the top.

Firefox will ask you to confirm you want to change the settings. Click “I’ll be careful, I promise”.

Scroll down to dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars, it should be set to true.  If not, double click and it should change to true.

Screen Shot 2013-05-09 at 11.21.51 AMScroll bars should now show.  Alternatively it might be easier just to use Chrome 🙂

When I open the diary no appointments or practitioner hours are visible.

If you are using one of the recommended browsers (Chrome or Firefox) then the most common reason for this occurring is that the timezone on your computer is set to a different timezone than your practice.  The timezone conflict causes the practitioner hours not to display, and the appointments will be displayed at incorrect times.  To avoid this ensure your computer timezone is set to the same as your practice timezone.  Your practice timezone is visible under Settings->System Configuration.  Instructions on how to change your computer’s timezone should be described in your computer’s instruction manual.
