Subscriber Access Difficulties

1. If when attempting to register for the first time you are taken to the “How to Subscribe” page instead the “Subscriber Information” page, you may be using a different e-mail address than the in our database. You must use the same address supplied to us when your subscription was ordered for the Website to recognize you as a user.
   1. If your company’s subscription is managed by a site administrator at your company, confirm the e-mail address with that person.
   2. If your company doesn’t have a site administrator--or you don’t know if your company has one--contact our Web Account Coordinator (e-mail: customerservice@nickles.com).
2. If you have viewed the Daily Oil Bulletin online before but now you are asked to enter your e-mail address and password, it would seem that one of two things has happened:
   1. The cookies in your browser have been deleted. Your password is saved in a cookie text file. This is to allow you to access the DOB without having to enter your password each time. Often cookies are stored in temporary files and sometimes inadvertently they are deleted. If this is the case you will need to request a new password.
   2. You are trying to access the DOB from another browser, workstation or remote location. Since the password is saved in a cookie only the browser that you initially registered on can be used without needing to request a new password.

Request A New Password

1. Go to the DOB home page at www.dailyoilbulletin.com
2. Click on any article under "Today’s DOB Highlights".
3. On the page where it says "This is a paid subscription site" insert your e-mail address and click <OK>.
4. At the bottom of the page where it says "Email my password to me" select this link.
5. Click on <Email My Password> button.
6. When you receive your new password it is best to copy and paste it into the password field on the User Login page as sometimes typos are made. This happens because, when viewed with a serif font, such as Times New Romans, numbers can look like letters and visa versa (e.g., the number "1" and the letter "l").

If, after requesting a new password, you are still unable to access the Daily Oil Bulletin articles, check to ensure that cookies are not being deleted periodically or each time you shut down your browser.

• In Internet Explorer 6:
  1. Select Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Cookies.
  2. "Enable" should be selected and "Custom Level" should be set to medium.
  3. Check the settings in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Security to ensure that "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder..." has not been selected.
• In Netscape 8:
  1. Go to Tools > Options > Privacy.
  2. Go to "Cookies".
  3. Keep Cookies: "until they expire" should be selected.
• In Firefox 2:
  1. Go to Tools > Options > Privacy.
  2. Under to "Cookies" ensure "Accept cookies from sites" is selected, and
  3. Keep until: "they expire" is selected.

Note: You'll have to request another password if using a different browser.

Visited Links

1. Visited links change color from green to brown after being selected from "Today's DOB Highlights", the "Table of Contents". This is to assist readers in identifying which articles/issues they have read.
2. Visited links don't change to brown or, after a period of time, default back to green:
   1. Your Internet browser may be set up to clear the history after a certain period of time.
   2. You can set up your browser to have the history clear every time you shut down your browser.
   3. You can set up your browser to clear the history after a certain number of days.
