Flashing Help Screen

Recommended Posts

Dear Brains,

I wanted to swap the template of my site but only seem to have an option to choose from 4, none of which suit. I clicked on the Help button in my menu which takes me a page titled Squarespace Help Center. Howbere this page just continually flashes between a blank screen and the actual page.  Any clues what is going on? Screen recording attached.

Thanks,

Chris

The primary issue -- Help Center and its sub-pages never loading -- is also happening to me, rendering Help tools useless. In Firefox, the above "flashing", constantly re-loading page problem occurs. Also makes the back button inoperable. In Safari -- both iOS and Mac OS -- the page loads but all content is replaced with gray blocks. If any are links, they are inoperable. Problem persists across multiple browsers, with extensions disabled, whether I'm logged into Squarespace or not (e.g. search result followed). Please fix this ASAP!

Having the same problem with the Help Center refreshing about once a second and no menus or other links responding to a click. I turned off "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Firefox settings but it only made the screen refresh intervals a bit shorter and uneven.

I tried emailing support but an automated reply told me to use the Help Center or chat (in the Help Center!) instead. Catch-22.

The screen refresh pushes out the following URL: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/es/signin?return_to=https%253A%252F%252Fsupport.squarespace.com%252Fhc%252Fes%252Fsignin%253Freturn_to%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fsupport.squarespace.com%25252Fhc%25252Fes (yes, that's the Spanish-language Help Center, a separate issue that appeared a couple of years back).

Added a paragraph about the URL of the flashing screen.
