Had a chance to look at http://fedoraproject.org from IE in a net
cafe recently and the site looks completely misaligned.
I thought that we had talked about this a couple of weeks ago and
you'd said you'd provide a screenshot?
(Seriously, hard to fix if you don't know how it's broken :) )
Screenshots would only help to fix this particular issue.
Sure, but isn't the point to get this particular issue fixed?
This requires
ongoing effort to make sure that any modifications made don't affect the
browsers end users use quite often which is why I said I would send a
mail here later which I did now.
What would be ideal is folks who are
involved in fixing the issues run IE and check against it before the
commits go live.
Folks who actually use and care about IE see issues and they send
screenshots/problem descriptions here. Seems like a decent process to
me, and doesn't require folks who prefer not to use IE to use it (I
won't, I'm sorry.)
It is not particular relevant whether you like IE or not as long as
there is a significant percentage (33% is still 1/3. It was 50% a few
weeks back) of our visitors use that browser.
I doubt 33% of FPO's visitors use IE 5.5; in fact I would find it hard
to believe 33% of that 33% use it. :) IE 5.5 is notorious for its
security issues and rendering bugs and is very outdated at this point (I
remember 'fixing' pages to play nice with IE 5.5 6 years ago.) I think
supporting IE 6 and IE 7 only at this point is a quite reasonable rule
of thumb and I think we've made a statement to this effect on this list
before.
