Many people use older browsers and therefore can see modern sites with errors. We have created a plugin that displays a warning message to the user who is using an old browser. The plugin does not block website and displays a message that appears at the top of the screen and can be easily closed.

Features:

Choose browser version for warning message
Custom text message
Transition effects
Dynamic appearance and styling
User friendly back end
Display: top bar or popup window
Detect desktop browsers only

How to use?

Turn the plug-in settings to switch on / off

Select the version of the browser that you want to appear as a warning. We set the default value for browsers IE6, FF3, Chrome14, Safari3, Opera9

If you want the warning was for Internet explore 7 choose in the select field IE7. Also warning will be shown for previous versions Internet explorer.
