As of 1st July, 2020, Memsource will discontinue support for Internet Explorer 11. Although users may be able to access and work in Memsource after this date with Internet Explorer 11, they will not be able to receive technical support or take advantage of new features with this browser.
Users are therefore encouraged to upgrade to one of the supported browsers listed here.
We understand that this change might inconvenience some users in the short term. Unfortunately, since active development has stopped for Internet Explorer 11, we have found it increasingly difficult to build and maintain the best possible experience for the end-user. We hope that in the long run everyone will benefit from more focused development on modern browsers.
