We had decided to end IE6 support sometime ago, but IE7 is proving a real obstacle to progress too and has subsequently also been added to the unsupported list.
IE10 is now available (Win 8, and in preview on Windows 7), which places IE7 as three generation old.
So, we can invest time in supporting a rapidly dying browser , or force an upgrade on those still using it.
We understand some may have no choice, and if that is the case, please discuss here. We may be able to provide a solution. But the only real solution is to move to IE8 or above.
A prompt is currently being displayed to all IE 7 (and under) users.
If you are seeing the prompt and you are using a more recent version of Internet Explorer (8, 9 or 10), then please check your browser settings to ensure you are not running in "compatibility" mode for this site, which will also cause the prompt and should be avoided when using this site in future.
edit : Edited to remove some ambiguity.
If anyone is thinking of just updating their IE for a laptop or pc, at least have a look at the others on offer ( examples: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera...to name but a few for a pc ) ...there are plenty far better browsers out there, once you've tried A N OTHER you won't go back to IE.
Wellllll, I gave up on Microsoft IE a long time ago anyway, although I've been told that the latest iteration is far better than they ever were...that's good as they surely needed to be lol...
Edit: Check out what browsers the site supports first !
