\"Other-Browsers\"<\/p>\n

We know there are a lot of you out there who use\u00a0Web\u00a0browsers other than Internet Explorer\u2026 and as you are well aware\u2026 RMLSweb<\/em> primarily supports Internet Explorer (IE).<\/p>\n

However, we do want to clear the air about this situation, because things have changed a bit.<\/p>\n

RMLSweb is now accessible utilizing most browsers<\/em>. By accessible, I mean that you can log in and use the website, but\u00a0we still highly recommend that you use Internet Explorer<\/em>.\u00a0We haven\u2019t talked about it much because you should bear no expectation of being able to do all the same things that you can when using RMLSweb<\/em> on Internet Explorer. But you can do many things and here is a list<\/a> of what.<\/em><\/p>\n

One omission you\u2019ll notice is Listing Load. We aren\u2019t allowing access to Listing Load in non-IE browsers because we know it has some limitations and we don\u2019t want the listing content to suffer.<\/p>\n

For Simplicity Sake: Scenarios When You Shouldn’t Use RMLSweb<\/em> on Another Browser\u00a0& When You Can<\/strong>
\n– If you want to get down to serious business (send reports, create a CMA, run statistics, enter a listing, prospecting\/hotsheets), you should still use Internet Explorer.
\n– If you\u2019re using a non-IE browser and just want to view a listing, do a search, or view a document \u2013 you should be okay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But Why? Why is RMLSweb<\/em> not compatible with all browsers?<\/strong>
\nOur focus has been\u00a0and continues to be on updating RMLSweb <\/em>in ways that will benefit all of our subscribers. But, while we’ve been doing that, we’ve also been working on browser compatibility – we’re just not doing it\u00a0in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n

RMLSweb<\/em> was originally a system that we purchased. We then brought on our own development staff and through the years, they have been making RMLSweb<\/em> our own system. However, there are still parts of it that are all written in the original code \u2013 which means those parts don\u2019t work with other browsers.<\/p>\n

However, each time we update something (like the recent mapping upgrades<\/a> and new Forms & Documents search<\/a>) we are writing it in code that should work with Firefox and other browsers. And, we still have some big updates to do, including CMA & statistics, which we tentatively plan to release in the next six months.<\/p>\n

In other words, we could spend time rewriting the dated features of RMLSweb<\/em> in code that will make it work with other browsers \u2013 but why spend time reinventing a dated product? Instead, the approach is to improve our existing product, and as we\u2019re doing that, we are taking steps toward compatibility with each improvement.<\/p>\n

You Can Help!<\/strong>
\nWhile we continue to work toward compatibility, there is limited functionality on non-IE browsers and we have not officially tested anything on them. So if you use a different browser and notice any issues \u2013 please e-mail those issues to helpdesk@rmls.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
