Troubleshooting.
The most common issues and the fastest fix for each. If none of these solve it, email hello@orba.work.
Invitations and email
Invitation email never arrived
- 1.Check the spam folder — first emails often land there.
- 2.Confirm the address in Settings → Members → Pending. One typo and the email goes nowhere.
- 3.Resend from the Pending list. Resends use a fresh signed link.
Password reset email is stuck
- 1.Wait two minutes — corporate inboxes can lag.
- 2.Try a different address if you have multiple.
- 3.Email hello@orba.work and we'll reset manually.
Boards and cards
I can't move a card
- 1.Refresh the page — a stale session can drop the WebSocket connection.
- 2.Check your role. Guests can't move cards.
- 3.Try a different browser to rule out an extension blocking drag events.
Changes from a teammate aren't showing up
- 1.Check the connection indicator (top-right). If it's red, your tab lost real-time.
- 2.Reload the tab. Cards rehydrate within a second on a healthy network.
- 3.If multiple teammates are stuck, check status.orba.work.
Performance
The board feels slow
- 1.Close other heavy tabs — the editor and a video call together can saturate memory.
- 2.Disable browser extensions for orba.work and reload.
- 3.Clear the site cache: Settings → Privacy → Clear data for orba.work.
Search is empty when I know the card exists
- 1.Search is scoped to projects you can see. Confirm you're a member of the project.
- 2.Newly created cards take a second or two to be indexed.
- 3.Try the card title verbatim — partial matches need at least three characters.
