Internet Explorer is going out of fashion, Not before time
https://forum.iomfats.org/./mv/msg/8134/66831/#msg_66831
IE usage on the site is, thankfully, dropping by about one percentage point per month. We optimise the site for properly standards compliant browsers. IE is not anywhere near that class.
That is why we are not too concerned about the issue where large files seem not to display in IE. We know what the problem is. It's IE's handling of our layout we implemented in the autumn that shows how useless IE is. We present perfect, standards compliant XHTML to it and it vomits uncontrollably and fails to display the text when it gets over a certain physical length.
So our advice to anyone suferring from this problem is "Get a real browser"]]>timmy2012-05-08T21:40:56-00:00Re: Internet Explorer is going out of fashion, Not before time

I had this same issue over on WordPress. Behind the scenes everything looked 'go'. And it was a 'go' using Fire Fox, Safari AND Chrome.

IE users on the main site see a little sticker that tells them to download a real browser. What more can we do?]]>timmy2012-05-08T22:23:24-00:00Re: Internet Explorer is going out of fashion, Not before time

Those 27 are running XP, a frozen OS release, on machines that may expire soon. So the problem will go away in about 6 months anyway, surely. And XP support ends in 2014 anyway]]>timmy2012-05-09T22:59:55-00:00Re: Internet Explorer is going out of fashion, Not before time

I'm trying it again but it's rather unfriendly approach to what I want to do means it probably won't last too long.
I don't seem to have any problems with your site under IE except for that annoyingly rude thing that has to be killed every time I try to open a story.

We do not support Internet Explorer on this site, nor will we. It's non standard and some releases prevent longer stories from appearing at all. It renders fonts badly, too. That of itself means that it is a worthless browser whose only real purpose is to download a real one.]]>timmy2012-05-21T14:52:02-00:00
