Windows 7 Users – Internet Explorer 11 As of late last week, Microsoft has began to push the new Internet Explorer 11 software to Windows 7 users via the automatic Windows Updates system. As with last months release for Windows 8.1 users, there are compatibility issues with this browser and the Tempo system. There are no current known issues with the Fusion system and this workaround is not required if you only access Fusion. The error one will receive when trying to go to the Tempo website is “This application was specifically designed for Internet Explorer 7.0 or greater. Your browser version is not supported. To download the latest version of Internet Explorer, visit the Internet Explorer Downloads Web site.” With this error message, you do not need to go and download anything. There is a setting that can allow access as usual. The steps to do so are as follows:
In the upcoming week, our vendor will release a patch that will allow proper function with Tempo and the new Internet Explorer 11. This patch will allow users of both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to access the system without needing the compatibility view workaround.

MLS Policy Change – Data Maintenance Fee Assessment Process The MLS Committee and the Board of Directors recently made a revision to MLS policies regarding how data maintenance fees are assessed. This change affecting all policies was primarily made to ensure members address needed listing corrections promptly: Current Wording: REALTOR® will receive an immediate warning. There shall be only one warning per licensee during each six-month period (Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec). Additional offenses of the same identical data field occurring within the same six-month period (Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec) will be assessed an immediate data maintenance fee. (Jul’12) Amended Wording: REALTOR® will receive an immediate warning. First Data Maintenance Fee (DMF) assessment will be applied in the following manner if necessary: Warning, DMF, DMF, Warning, $500. The assessment is per licensee during each six-month period (Jan-Jun and Jul – Dec). Second and subsequent Data Maintenance Fee (DMF) assessments for the same identical data field occurring within the same six-month period (Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec) will be assessed an immediate data maintenance fee and applied in the following manner if necessary: DMF, DMF, Warning, $500. (Oct ’13) The typical timeframe between Warnings and each DMFs is 24 hours for members to make MLS requested data error corrections. If a member is believed to have intentionally violated policies on a consistent basis by refusing to make required correction(s) in the allowable 24 hour timeframes and then being assessed a $500 DMF, they would be subject to a phone call from the Chair of the MLS Committee or an ethics’ complaint filed by the Chair of the MLS Committee. A revised policy manual reflective of these changes will be on the CR web site soon. Please be certain your broker, office manager and all REALTORS® are aware of these important changes to the MLS policies that are effective November 1, 2013 … thank you.

Windows 8.1 and IE 11 – Do Not Install Recommendation: DO NOT INSTALL Windows 8.1 at this time. Microsoft is expected to release Windows 8.1 including a new version of Internet Explorer 11 on October 17th, 2013. Until CoreLogic has certified that IE11 is fully compatible with its MLS systems, we recommend that Fusion and TEMPO users do not install Windows 8.1. (Windows 8 does not support earlier, certified versions of Internet Explorer, unfortunately.) Known issues with IE11 (vendor is working to resolve):
Note: Windows 8.1 is NOT an “automatic update” for current Windows 8 users that would be applied without the user’s action. For Windows versions prior to 8.0, users must purchase Windows 8.1 and upgrade their computer or purchase a new computer with Windows 8.1 already installed. If they do so, the only version of Internet Explorer they will be able to use is IE11 and they will encounter the issue above until they are resolved.
