OliverKlozerof Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I know they say officially that only Internet Explorer can be used for the new online 90-day reporting. I just tried via Safari on my Mac and got pop-up message when tried to go to the 90-report site that only IE (which is currently Windows only), can be used. With Safari, that's all you get; you can go no further. However, when I went to the 90-day report page using FireFox on my Mac, yes, the message about IE came up...BUT, after dismissing the message, the browser went to the "agreement" page on the site, which makes me think maybe FF would work on the Mac. I can obviously go to an internet cafe that has Windows computers to fill out the form. Anyway, I still have a couple weeks until I need to do it. But: Has anyone been able to successfully submit the report from a Mac, using FF or maybe Google Chrome, or...? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There has been a report of using Chrome on a Mac to access online reporting. It should also work with Firefox. If you have problems you can install an extension for both of them for IE it needed. I suspect their may also be extension available for Safari. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I suspect their may also be extension available for Safari. Safari has the ability built into it - http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-activate-user-agent-switcher-in-safari.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbassham Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I haven't actually submitted my report, but I got past the error by enabling the "develop" menu in safari and changing the "user agent" to Windows Explorer. I think that would work. http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/03/enable-the-develop-menu-in-safari/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 As a person that has a problem understanding computers for dummies could someone come on here and give us a step by step way of doing the 90 report online. I read the above posts and do not understand extensions user agents and all that other tech talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the above posts and do not understand extensions user agents and all that other tech talk. If you are running Windows and have Internet Explorer installed you don't need anything. The same for Chrome and Firefox in most cases. The post has some info that may help you. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/557382-90-day-report-procedures/?p=9297124#entry9297124 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbalEd Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I was easily able to get on using Safari on my Mac ... and did so without making any preferences changes or anything else. Also, BTW, Internet Explorer is available for the Mac. Edited April 15, 2015 by HerbalEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbassham Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's like 3 clicks if you want to try making safari look like IE to the website. And like i said, i havent tried it so it may not be necessary, or work, but its like a 10 second investment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcnbkk Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow. Thanks. Extensions - user agents is pretty cool. I tried it, but not for a 90 day report, I don't have to do one yet. Has anyone else tried it yet? did it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
