Internet explorer

[Kan1846]

When I sign on to Pogo I get a message telling m e my internet explorer is out of date and I need to upgrade.  I have a new computer purchased in July with Internet explorer 8.  Why am I getting this message?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hello Kan1846,

Here is some information regarding this message which you can also find on Pogo forums

Here are steps make sure browser is recognizing the newer version of Internet Explorer - in your case I think this is all you need to do to stop this message displaying:



First get IE's menu bar to show if it is not currently showing, to do this click "Alt." To get it to permantely stay there, right click and check the "Menu Bar" option.

Once your menu bar is showing, click "Tools."



Uncheck "Compatibility View."


You should no longer be seeing that message across the top of your screen.

I'll leave in the information for updating the Internet Explorer version for anyone else who may be experiencing the same problem.

• Pogo Phasing Out Support For IE7

From time to time as technologies change, we have no choice but to move to the newer, updated versions. With this in mind, Pogo is phasing out support for the Internet Explorer 7.

While Pogo will likely still work for users with IE 7 or earlier, we will no longer be testing Pogo’s  functionality with IE7.

To be prepared of the change we highly recommend updating to the latest version of IE available for your operating system.

Note that IE8 and IE9 will still be fully supported to work on Pogo.

Alternatively you can use another supported browser such as Firefox or Google Chrome.

We always recommend that our players get the latest released version of their browser.

To check which browser you are currently using, click here:

If it says you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 then we would recommend that you upgrade to one of the following browsers.

If you want to continue to use Internet Explorer and would like to upgrade from Internet Explorer 7, here is what we recommend.

• Windows XP – IE8
• Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 – IE9

If you want to keep the version of IE you already have, you can try one of the other two supported browsers.

• Google Chrome
• Firefox

Every time I go into Pogo to  play, I get an announcement that soon it will no longer support IE7 and requests I load IE8. According to my computer, I am not using IE7, IE9 is loaded. What do I need to do?

Thanks
