Symptoms

Elements of Aha! products appearing blank
Changes to Aha! products or data lost when you refresh a page
Elements of Aha! products, like the text editor, that you cannot edit
Diagnosis
If you see symptoms like these in your Aha! account, you first steps should be to attempt to diagnose the issue. Try these steps:
Clear your browser's cache and cookies
Disable any third-party browser extensions
Update your browser to the latest version
Try to use your Aha! account in a browser's incognito window
Try to use your Aha! account in another browser

Explanation
If the problem persists even after you have tried multiple browsers and browser configurations, your ad blocker or antivirus software might be interfering with Aha! products. Kaspersky Anti-Virus in particular seems to create this situation, but certain ad blockers or other antivirus softwares do as well. The tool in this case is interpreting legitimate Aha! product functionality as threats or advertising.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, you need to disable the ad blocker or antivirus tool that is causing it.
