Q. I'm getting the following message "You are trying to access a page that is no longer active. The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed."
The Helpdesk are often contacted regarding this error message when attempting to log in to CUFS as users think this it is an account problem when it is actually a caching issue. Users are advised to clear their browser's cache.
Help to do this can be found here: How to clear your browser's cache
If the problem persists please email UFS_enquiries
Further UFS technical help can be found on the UFS website.
Q. I am having problems logging into CUFS following the upgrade
Some users have saved shortcuts to CUFS, often these shortcuts contain stored information which is no longer valid after the upgrade.
This is causing a number of issues for users, especially around logging in.
If you are experiencing issues, please try the following:
· Update all stored links to be https://ufslive.admin.cam.ac.uk/
· Using a different browser to the one you normally use
