Thanks for the heads up.

It's safe to ignore that All should be back to normal.

We're retaining IE8 support for the foreseeable future, but some of the newer and more exciting things will unfortunately not be unsupported in IE8 (due to the substantial time commitment required and lacking capability of the browser itself).

We're making tons of changes and improvements to ΩF under the hood. Generally, none of this interferes with the main site, but sometimes little pieces slip through. My apologies.

Just out of curiosity, has your IT dept. provided any timeline for upgrading?

 

We'd like to support everything new and old, but those older versions of IE are particularly troublesome. The usual page rendering issues are known and fixable, but there's many modern and very useful technologies IE simply has no support for.

Rather than invest a lot of time in extensive IE hacks and fixes, we figure it's more effective to direct our efforts towards the rapidly growing segment of mobile devices, etc. For the ΩF basics and essentials, IE8 support will remain... for now

 

Yeah, that was pretty clever, even if just for the extra press

Supporting 4 year old versions of most browsers is actually not an issue, it's just IE that's special.
