    We have made every effort to ensure most aspects of our site work across different platforms and browsers. However, there may be times when we have been unable to provide this level of accessibility with legacy browsers. Below is a list of suggested browsers available to download from external sites. Netscape is not listed here as it has recently been discontinued, and is no longer a supported browser platform.

    To come up with our list of browsers that our site will support, we have used the Yahoo Graded Support list, as it is an up to date and reliable source of information on compatibility and popularity.
