In order to continue to improve our products/services and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.
We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on all our projects from March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers.
LightSpeed will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.
Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message when viewing our websites explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser. We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.
We are aiming to continue to deliver the best and most innovative website products for businesses in 2010 and beyond.
Thank you for your continued support!

Flash for years have been dependent on JavaScript to detect browser/version combinations and serve users either the Flash (you can download the latest player) or HTML versions of the site. Most users are accustomed to seeing “browser update”, “player update or similar warning (info) messages, as long as our implementation is clear and concise we should be fine.
