IE 8 is very old. If you're on an operating system where IE 8 is the newest IE available, you're going to be out of support in April unless you throw money at Microsoft. IE 9 should work.

The bug is in futon.js in the page source, line 269: "Object doesn't support this property or method" } else if (userCtx.roles.indexOf("_admin") != -1) { // bug is here for IE $("#userCtx .adminparty").show(); $(".serverAdmin").removeAttr('disabled'); } else { $("#userCtx .loggedout").show(); }; IE does not support indexOf on array objects. The code need to special case for IE. I suspect this is the page code the creates the login/sign in link. Now that I've found the problem, what do I do? Report it where? And of course, how can I get a fix into a new build. I'm at a bit of a loss trying to understand how a bug like this could go undetected in an official release. It's essential that Futon work with IE. Corporate and government installations dictate the what software is installed on machines. A user would not be allowed to install a Couch compatible browser.
