With the exception of Internet Explorer (IE11), we support the current and previous major releases of the following desktop browsers:

  • Chrome (current and last major revision)

If you are using a current version of a supported browser and a site feature still doesn't work as expected:

  • Determine if your internet browser is current or needs upgrading.
  • Try using a different browser (in its latest version) as a temporary workaround.

If you've tried these solutions but continue experiencing issues, contact us with the following details:
