I added verses to a Reference List, but they are not displayed. What happened?

Answer: Check to see what Text order is selected for the display of your Reference List. The Text order pop-up menu is used to set the Bible text used to determine the book and verse order of your verses. For example, if you select a Hebrew Bible, the verses appear in the order of the Hebrew Bible with no New Testament verses displayed. Another example would be if verses were added from the Apocrypha. If the Text order chosen is a Bible text that does not have the Apocrypha in it (e.g. KJV), those verses are not displayed.

I am reading the online Help. When I click on a linked picture, the pop-ups appear in unexpected locations on the screen.

Answer: Handling of pop-ups is a known issue with the Safari browser. For that reason we tried to keep their use to a minimum. If convenient for you, download Firefox and use that browser for accessing the Help.

I noticed that sometimes icons flicker on the Help toolbar. Why is this?

Answer: Accordance Help is created in XML/HTML. This allowed us to implement additional features to make the Help more accessible. Since the Help is viewed in a browser, all graphics must load before being viewed. The flickering icons in the toolbar occur because the browser has to load pictures before they can be displayed. To avoid this issue, we suggest that you minimize the Help between uses. This way, the flickering does not reoccur each time you open the Help.
