      ​

  3. Question: The layout of the Virtual Sharing Station looks distorted on my device. How can I fix it?
    ​
    ​

    Answer: Your device or browser might be causing this:
    ​
    ​

    • Update Browser: Older browser versions might not render modern websites correctly. Please make sure you're using the latest version.
      ​

    ​
    ​

    Answer: High traffic can sometimes strain the servers or your internet connection...
