I've had exactly the same message for the past few weeks as Julie, and my browser is also the latest Microsoft one.

Virtually nothing on the site works in Internet Explorer 11 now, even though its the most up to date version of IE and still gets security updates. Up until recently you could search the catalogue and the rest of the site, but that now doesn't work after a recent upgrade. It does work with Microsoft Edge and other browsers.

I usually use Opera browser for FamilySearch at the moment and it works o.k. for me on that.

No problem getting in. I use Firefox...but agree that familysearch require you to be registered now. Simple process.

Yes, it does, but the Search button isn't greyed out if you aren't logged in. It lets you search and then tells you to register or sign in before it will show you the results. So if the Search button is greyed out, it's not because you need to log in.

OH has now installed Microsoft Edge as an alternative browser and it seems to work though I haven't done a proper search as yet.

Like I said, I don't think it makes any difference to the search button whether you are registered / logged in or not.

Following on from the helpful advice in post 12 and the good news in post 16, I have now used Microsoft Edge successfully, so many thanks to you both for helping me also.
