Hi all,

I'm new to Splunk so I'm not sure if I did something wrong but after installing the free version of Splunk
I noticed a problem on the home page. The menu bar at the top with links such as "messages", "System", "Activity", & "Help" are unclickable. Running Splunk Free on Centos 7 as a non-root user.
Used the tarball for install.

found that it only works in Google Chrome. Maybe a noob problem, but I don't remember seeing that they recommend using Chrome only.
