SQ award search not working?

Paging KVS...

Is there an issue with the SQ award search? I always get the following error message:

KVS Availability Tool

Data Source Error [R-3]

"We could not find the page you were looking for"

[...]

I get this message with cookies switched on or switched off.

On a related note, I have a few questions about the tool and its use of cookies. I am working on PCs with high privacy settings in IE most of the time and a number of KVS functions do not work properly because first party cookies are not accepted. My work around is the exception list for cookies for 'trusted' sites. Do you have a list of websites that would need to go into the exception list?

The [Awards/SQ] Method continues to function normally -- are you running the latest KVS Tool version?

There is no specific list, but you can keep all other MSIE security settings on high, as long as you enable First-Party Cookies via the Advanced options. Alternatively, it may be a good idea to install separate (non-MSIE) web browsers for regular browsing on those machines.

KVS, yes, I am running the latest version. Now 6.9.6. Error persists unfortunately. Any ideas?

Regarding cookies, I think I can live with the solution your suggesting...not great, but workable for me. If only more Chinese websites worked properly without IE, it'd be no trouble.

YGM!

In that case, disabling 1st-party Cookies would not be a good idea, as many sites will not function properly. You can disable 3rd-party Cookies, as none of the Engines within the KVS Tool use them. You can also clear/delete all Cookies from time-to-time, as desired -- the KVS Tool will handle that automatically.

Awards/SQ down again...

Paging KVS...

I have just upgraded to the latest version (7.1.0) and now get a similar error message as I received back in March (which was resolved at the time).

This is the error message I get now:

KVS Availability Tool

Data Source Error [RL-3]
