This site is produced for Microsoft Internet Explorer - and all of the documents which Terry uploads under the “news” and “updates” sections are also produced using Microsoft Office products.  To be fair to Terry, he has done really well, considering that his background is in no way IT related - so this method makes it reasonably straightforward for him to maintain the site. And more importantly, it lets me spend less time looking after the site and more time in Vu Cafe, South Bar and at the helm of Bfor........

Hence - given all  this Microsoft Software it is not surprising that you will have the least amount of problems using a version of Internet Explorer to access the site! (And please - spare me the emails about how insecure IE is, I retired from the IT industry several years ago so have no further interest in the debate, sorry!)

However - the harsh reality of statistics and Bill Gates hold on the marketplace is that users of IE account for 70% of the visitors to the site each year.  So we cater for the majority with our simplistic policy.

Nevertheless, a further 29% of the visitors use Firefox - so here is what to do if you use Firefox and want to make the site easier to access:-

1. Download IE view from the following locations
2. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/35
3. Install the Add-on into Firefox
4. Mark the site lagosnavigators.net as being one that is “always opened in an IE view”.

Thats about it really - Firefox will access the site anyway without this add-on, but behaves slightly differently to the way that IE does when encountering Terry’s MS Office documents.

(Incidentally you can use the IE Tabs Add-on in Firefox to the same effect if that suits you better).

So - the above 2 browsers account for 99% of the traffic to the site year-on-year. Its really not worth us worrying about Chrome, Safari and Opera etc, since these are a fraction of 1% each and lets be honest, Terry and I both do this for fun!!
