Due to some security updates, users of old OS/browser combinations will shortly no longer be able to access OOF easily.

This is likely to impact Windows XP, Symbian and old Android users the most:

XP with IE or Safari won't work. Later FF should work, but is unsupported by MS or FF
Android before Honeycomb/ICS won't work, including Gingerbread
iOS 3 or earlier won't work
All Symbian browsers will not work

Realistically, any desktop OS that's 10yrs old or mobile OS that's 5yrs old are going to be problematic.  All of these are unsupported by their manufacturers, so will not get a fix. Your options may include an OS upgrade, or a new device.


Post up if this might impact you, so we can ascertain the size of the problem.

Does / Is OOF working on Edge yet ?
I've got Win 10 on a tablet

I have XP + SP3 and Firefox is my browser, so I will be affected, yes? My computer will not accept a higher level Windows OS.

Tried it a couple of months ago when away with the tablet.
It wouldn't play so went back onto IE 

Personally, I thing its that TuBy bloke trying to get rid of me

No mention of problems with Amstrad 1512, so I should be ok

Its been working with Edge since about a month after the official launch of Windows 10.  In fact, 9 times out of 10, I use Edge to use OOF.

Later versions of Firefox might help on that OS.  Though you really need to consider an upgrade, as you're vulnerable as soon as you connect to the Internet.

The only issue I had when Windows 10 came out using Edge was I couldn`t use any emoji`s, everything else was fine but I had a similar issue with OWA when using work e-mails, I couldn`t attach anything or mark as high importance.

Hummm. My garage PC runs XP, I use Chrome on it.

OOF is one of the only sites that works on my old NT4 Pc

Firstly, you're nuts to use Chrome on anything x86 .  Secondly, Chrome on XP will NOT work with our planned changes, and I can't see Google fixing that now for XP, as they need to spend all their time fixing the more fundamental faults with the browser.

Can't you up it to a sensible version of Windows, or is the hardware that old?

My garage PC runs W10 (using MS's freebie upgrade), but is quite an old OptiPlex from Core2 era. Its got, I think, 2Gb RAM and a 240Gb SSD, and runs W10 well enough - I fitted the SSD for reliability than performance (although the performance is very welcome), as I wasn't convinced that going from freezing to 40C in 10 mins was going to do a traditional HDD any favours
