Re: ODD tutorials

I am sorry CETEIcean didn’t work for you. It has not been tested on a very wide array of browsers, and I don’t have easy access to old versions of Firefox to test it on. I’ve added a polyfill for Array.includes which I hope will solve the particular problem you report—though it may of course only uncover other incompatibilities. 

A gentle reminder that this list encourages *constructive* criticism. A tremendous step backwards it may be at the moment, but with your help perhaps one day it won’t be terrible. Thanks for the bug report.

All the best,
Hugh
