If you can see this message then you are using a browser (probably Internet Explorer) which does not support the international web standards used by the LAS website and many others.
Click here for an example of how the site should look.

Please consider using an alternative browser - especially if you are on Windows XP which only supports the outdated Internet Explorer 8 browser - such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome which do have support for these web standards. As well as not supporting modern features and web standards, old versions of browsers - especially Internet Explorer - can expose your computer to security risks. The Browse Happy website has a list of the latest versions of all major browsers, including Internet Explorer (but remember Windows XP only supports up to IE8!)

If updating/changing your browser is not possible, do not panic - all of the LAS website is still available to you and we are working to make the layout compatible with outdated browsers.

In the meantime, you will have to scroll down a way to see the page you wish to view. You can also skip past the moon phase info, etc. and click here after you've loaded a page to jump to the content.

Removed “Options” box from homepage, features moved to menus

In order to make some room on the homepage, the features which were previously in the “Options” box on the left of the homepage can now be found in the menus above the page.

Registering, Logging In/Out and News Feeds are on the lower menu under the header (that is, below the LAS logo/astronomical image/search box).

You can edit your user profile (e.g. updating your e-mail address, etc.) by clicking on your username on the very top-right of the page.

A nice by-product of this rearrangement is that these are now available on all areas of the site, rather than just the homepage.
