Changing your Web Browser settings

Change or Upgrade to a Better Web Browser

Are you using an out of date web browser? Not all web browsers are the same and advances in web technology makes upgrading to the newest version of your browser a necessity rather than choice if you want the best and fastest web browsing experience.  If you are still using Internet Explorer 6 or 7 then we recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, or alternatively switch to a more advanced and capable web browser such as Google Chrome, Firefox or Apple Safari.
