Seriously though, LOR will look shit in IE8 if you don't "detour" IE8 users. You get two buttons at the top, neither of which works, then it dumps the entire menu on the screen, one column, font size about 4. Annoyingly, the one bit of your code that does work is the bit that makes the button hover, so you get a non working button following you down the page. It really does look like a page designed by a 5 year old after their first lesson at HTML. 99.9% of surfers won't know that the reason for this is because their browser is old, and will simply assume you are incompetent. Sadly there is that Twitter thing nowadays, and a couple of pissed of surfers with bugs up their asses combined with a few re-tweets of "LOR is shit" posts could kill your reputation and kill LOR.

Also, I'm told (but have been given no proof) that if your site is not IE8 compatible and does not redirect IE8 surfers to a warning page, Google assume it is badly designed overall and really drop your ranking.

All this shit, just to make Bill Gates richer, is it worth it?

That was long time ago to the internet standards

I did change the settings on my IE Tab Extension for Chrome to see what you were talking about. 40 people yesterday either left or did one hell of a lot of scrolling |lol|

Seriously, HTML5 doesn't even work in IE8, right? Just upgrade! I once LOVED Netscape Navigator 2.0 until 3.01 Gold came out & you could see animated gifs moving :D

You are missing my point. I have upgraded, I have Vista (for my sins) and would have W7 if I hadn't been screwed over by a computer company. I have no love of XP (prefer it to Vista, but 98 was better) because I have no love of Microsoft. If I were expecting you to design LOR to my taste I would be expecting you to design it for the Workbench/Kickstart Os/GUI on an Amiga (1200 or "Big Box").

The point I am making is this: A lot of people still use XP IE8, not only are you pissing them off and risking a Twitterstorm against LOR, you are also NOT GETTING THEIR MONEY. Your own figures (which are incredibly low compared with mine and Google's figures) state that about 1 in 40 of your surfers use IE8, so that will be 1 dollar out of 40 you won't be making. If you can afford to throw away that money, then you are doing better than the rest of us (and if you are that rich, send some to me to finance my next film).

Keep ignoring the "inconvenient" surfers, and your sales will drop, the mortgage won't get paid, and you will end up living in "New Hooverville".

Ain't I just a ray of sunshine on a Saturday!

ECCHI! I thought of a work-around so it works in IE7!!!

(well, until you scroll down past copyright/footer :D)

The menu dump beneath the copyright is not a problem because: Who the hell scrolls that far down?
