This web site gives me a real problem with trying to log in ... They will drive you crazy with "checking" out your OS and Browser. I really don't need this site for anything except lottery information but the information on "warnings" is really something. They must have all the latest software programs to check a person's computer in 2011. I am using both KM v1.5.4 and KM v1.6 Beta 2 and I'm getting more trouble with the newer KM 1.6 browser. If you go to the site click on "Login" ... they will read your machine and give you a reading on Passed ... Warnings ... Failed and Info: For instance, using KM v1.6 Beta 2, I get this "Failed" message for Browser type:
Netscape 5 is not supported. The Netscape browser has been discontinued by the manufacturer, and we strongly recommend changing to a different brand. Lottery Post currently has four supported browsers: Internet Explorer (IE) (Windows only), Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera.
When I use KM v1.5.4, I don't get a Browser failed warning ... I'm just surprised to be getting a Failed warning with the newer KM browser and not the older 1.5.4 version.
Test Summary
Passed: 6
Warning: 4
Failed: 1
Info: 2
You received 1 Fail result, which you must fix before you are able to login to Lottery Post.
We also recommend attempting to fix the problems identified by the 4 Warning results, although fixing Warnings is not required in order to use Lottery Post. They point out things that are keeping you from having the best possible experience at Lottery Post.
Please review the 2 Info messages below for additional helpful information about your browser.

The web site if others would like to test their machines out and see what "Warnings" you get ... click on the Login (upper left) ... you really don't have to log in ... they check your machine before the actual login. You will see the results below the log in area.

... any comments appreciated about the KM v1.6 "Fail" message.
thanks ...
.... I will add this one warning: AJAX Support
Your browser does not support AJAX technology, so you will not be able to use several interactive portions of Lottery Post, such as Favorites, Profiles, some lottery systems, and more. We strongly recommend upgrading to a modern, mainstream web browser.

I have never heard of AJAX technology ... is this important with other web sites? I actually don't get that warning when I use KM 1.5.4.
