However, as of right now, there are a few items that you need to keep in mind:
- We do use a browser cookie to remember who you are as you use BioCoRE. If you have a firewall or similar product that denies cookies you will need to configure it to allow cookies for the BioCoRE site.
- BioCoRE uses JavaScript. If you have JavaScript turned off in your browser some things might not work properly.
- Support for version 4.x of the browsers (Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 4) was dropped in June, 2004. If you are using one of these older browsers we suggest that you upgrade to insure full compatibility with BioCoRE.
