Summary: MSIE9 not recognized as more advanced than MSIE8

Initial Comment:

Mark Miller reported the following behavior (below). At least the proper recognition of MSIE9 should be fixed. For suppressing a constant reminder, we can consider fixing this if easy to fix -- but so long as it is properly recognizing the browser, constantly annoying users doesn't matter so much given that the incompatible browsers won't work. This warning message is more important in the submission system, where submissions may be impossible to complete without a fully-compatible browser.

Hi folks,

I browsed to TreeBaseII to see how it was doing.
It looks great. But there is a very annoying "feature"
Every time I hit a link, it throws a message scolding me for
Having an old outdated browser.

In my opinion, making this happen on every click will drive people away,
One warning on arrival would suffice.

Second, and more importantly, I am using MSIE 9, not MSIE 8, and therefore
A completely up to date browser. The code should be changed to
Not view MSIE 9 as an out of date browser.


Best,
Mark
