Hello.

I’ve not tried today, but it’s likely temporary.

Have you tried a hard refresh?

I’d give it a bit and try again.

Thanks for reporting, though!

Yeah I encountered the same thing a day or two before. What do you mean by hard refresh?

Here you go. Might not help, but sometimes it does.

Like that old IT saying, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” :slight_smile:

Good luck!

A hard refresh in web browsers like Firefox and Chromium (such as Google Chrome) forces the browser to reload a webpage by clearing its cache for that specific page. Normally, browsers store certain elements (like images, scripts, and styles) in their cache to speed up loading times for future visits. A hard refresh bypasses this cache, ensuring that the browser loads the most recent version of the page from the server.

How to Perform a Hard Refresh:

In Firefox:

  1. Windows/Linux:
  • Press Ctrl + F5, or
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + R.
  1. macOS:
  • Press Command + Shift + R.

In Chromium-based Browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.):

  1. Windows/Linux:
  • Press Ctrl + F5, or
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + R.
  1. macOS:
  • Press Command + Shift + R.

What Happens During a Hard Refresh:

  • Cache Bypass: The browser ignores the cached files and requests the latest version of all assets (e.g., images, JavaScript, CSS) from the server.
  • Complete Reload: It reloads all elements from scratch, including those that might not have changed, ensuring that you are viewing the most up-to-date version of the webpage.

This is particularly useful for web developers when testing changes or troubleshooting website issues, or when users experience issues with out-of-date content.

This problem has been occurring since shortly after the start and continues even after a hard refresh.

Hi, I’m having the same problem.
I have tried in Firefox and in Edge. In the latter, I logged in and used ChatGPT for the very first time. I then asked to open just a canvas with a header but apparently the canvas file disappears, as soon as prompting the response is finished. I asked if there might be guideline infringements, but ChatGPT answered, that it’s probably not a mistake on my end, but a technical issue. It then suggests to keep working in regular chat style, which works fine at least.

When I switch off “temporary mode”, it works fine. So it is apparently an issue with the temporary mode.

The issue is still there, it has been there since the feature has been released, you can’t use it with temporary mode
