Netscape, Firefox, Opera & NeoPlanet

If you are using the Netscape or Opera browsers, you may have problems seeing the pages are they really are (though almost all of these problems have now been ironed out). N.B. Older versions of any browser may cause you viewing problems.
You could need plugins, and your version of Netscape, Opera or Mozilla Firefox may prompt you to download these (or it may not!).
We recommend your use of Microsoft Internet Explorer, though it is a known fact that the use of other browsers, like Mozilla Firefox, is often recommended for security reasons. This page gives some helpful information on the other browsers.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 is still available here. Here is the latest help from Microsoft regarding Internet Explorer 7. (Please be patient - this can be slow to load).

Netscape 8.1.2 is released. Read more...

Click here for information about the old Netscape 4x series. BUT, if you are using Netscape 4x, please upgrade, if only for your own surfing pleasure!

Netscape 8.1.2
The very latest product from Netscape, Netscape 8.1.2, is a good browser (though a little slow in loading, and not very fast when surfing), but at last it shows our site as it is meant to be..
You can no longer get older versions of Netscape, but it's best not to use old versions of Netscape anyway, because frankly your Net enjoyment would be diminished since modern Websites no longer support them. I really wouldn't bother with older versions of Netscape if I were you. If you prefer not to surf with Microsoft Internet Explorer, using Firefox is a good alternative. If you are simply interested in learning more about Netscape, you can visit their Website.

Netscape 4x
In the older Netscape 4x series, which I know that some surfers still use, Back buttons like those on this page do not appear in green, as they should do, but in grey, and other elements may also not be visible. Incorrect fonts may appear, and in the wrong colour. I have now tried to put this right, but would like to hear from you if you have any viewing peculiarities.
However... Should you be using Netscape 4x, please upgrade, if only for your own surfing pleasure! Better still, get Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 here or Firefox!

Firefox
Firefox works just like Internet Explorer. There's really no need for me to go into any technical details here, except to say that this browser is often recommended nowadays for security reasons. Get it here.

Opera
I sometimes still use the old Opera 5.12 for some of my testing. Opera 5.12 is by no means the latest version, and it seems to render our pages quite poorly. The Back buttons like those on this page do not appear in green, as they should do, but in grey. Also, you will not see the nice ridged borders around the various 'boxes' on the pages. However, as they claim at Opera, their users are calling this "the fastest, smallest, most full-featured desktop browser on the market". Opera 9.24 is now out and it renders our Website perfectly. Like Netscape 8.1.2, Opera 9.24 is a good browser, and it's now free. :o)

NeoPlanet

Note as at 17/06/05

The NeoPlanet Browser site is now linking only to an older version of that browser, though it's probably useable. Pity anyway.
Q: Why would I use NeoPlanet Browser, and not my usual browser?
A: NeoPlanet Browser is an addition to Microsoft Internet Explorer. It provides an interface for your browser that is completely customizable by YOU.
To read more, click here for NeoPlanet Browser Support.
I have the latest version, NeoPlanet Browser, V. 5.2, Build 1704, and it shows our Website as it should be, just as Microsoft Internet Explorer does. It's a fun browser, and you can enjoy using its 'skins' (colour schemes & designs), and also its sounds. Check it out at NeoPlanet.com. By the way, it's free! The download is here.
