Lost Planefinder on my PC

Suddenly, I lost Planefinder. I believe my system uses an older Windows 8 but I am unable to upgrade to Windows 10. Planefinder was working fine on my older system. Why was it suddenly removed ?

Hello,

Do you mean the Plane Finder client for sharing data or the website?

The website is available at https://planefinder.net and requires IE11 or above. Alternatively you could install Chrome.

For the client you can download it here if you have a receiver https://planefinder.net/sharing/receiver_list

No I am not a client just trying to see the sircraft which pass near my house. I have IE 10 & never had any problems using Planefinder.

We made some improvements to the site that needed us to raise the minimum browser levels to IE11.

Our stats showed us that 0.2% of visitors use IE10.

A solution for you is to download and use Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks I downloaded Chrome as my PC was using IE 10 & suddenly Planefinder stopped working. The site is excellent especially for elderly guys like me who can no longer travel out to airports to spot aircraft. The only drawback since I use Chrome, is a load of pop-up ads which I never got when using IE10; in fact it was working perfectly before.

Ok, glad it is working now.

Sorry for dropping IE10 support. If you are on Windows 8 I believe you could upgrade to IE11 but even this browser is only getting security updates now by Microsoft.

We like to push the boundaries with technology. With only 0.2% of our user base on IE10 it was sadly time to drop it as it didn't support some of the stuff we were doing. We also saw that users had a workaround of Chrome or Firefox.
