Browser requirements and settings

Browser Requirements

The Upper St.John River Valley website is designed to look and work best using the Firefox browser; the Opera browser also displays the site correctly. Both browsers are available for free download (see links below).

If you use Netscape or Internet Explorer (IE), you may experience technical difficulties viewing some features of the site, although most of the site will work in any up-to-date browser. But if you use Firefox or Opera you will not have any problems. In addition, Firefox is much more secure than IE.

For these reasons, if you are still using Internet Explorer, I strongly recommend that you switch to Firefox or Opera. You can download them for free at the following links:

Download Firefox

Download Opera

JavaScript must be enabled in your browser preferences for the site to work correctly. (In Firefox: Tools, Options, Content, Enable Javascript).

Cookies.

A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer. On this site cookies are used only in the forum (to remember the threads that you have visited, and to allow you to log into the forum in order to post), and in the various database searches, to verify that you are searching from this site.

Please be sure that your browser preferences are set to "enable cookies" for this site. If not, those functions won't work properly. (In Firefox: Tools, Options, Privacy, Cookies. If you usually block cookies, please put upperstjohn.com in the box under "exceptions".)

Popup windows

In Firefox you can tell the browser which sites you would like to allow to use popup windows. Please either turn off your popup window blocker, or else add upperstjohn.com to your list of allowed sites. (In Firefox: Tools, Options, Content, Block Popup Windows. If you want to block most popups but allow those at this site, include upperstjohn.com in the Allowed sites box.)

If you have any technical problems while visiting this website, please let me know!
