Do you understand that some of us do not speak a foreign language? I don’t want to claim ignorance _ but when I browse it is the only time I can recollect being a browser. :)

The Church sites have always worked well with Microsoft IE as well as Netscape, Opera and Foxfire/Mozella. A few tweaks might be needed to the settings page of some browsers; e.g., Opera’s “Server Settings”, etc. (I have not tried Netscape’s recent versions.)

Except, at least, for the first four months of this year when anyone using a non-IE browser could not place an order on ldscatalog.com.
