--- Comment #24 from Michael Zajac <[email protected]> --- Thanks for the enlightening links, all. I see that MSIE 6 accounts for 0.83% of traffic, well over the 0.1% threshold, and thus remains supported as a grade B browser, for reading, but not necessarily having all features working. The same applies to MSIE 7 (1.47%) and 8 (4.71%). All these guidelines carry out-of-date warnings, and don’t account for the conflicted grey area wherein MSIE 6 and 7 are supported for reading, but not for the ULS which provides fonts that may be necessary for reading. I think the gist is that if you are using MSIE 6, you are more-or-less on your own, and may need to install some fonts. Editors and developers don’t want to abandon MSIE 6 users, but no one will invest time and energy into testing MSIE 6 and 7, so the realistic support level is “good luck, mate.” Also good to know that WikiMedia is, or was, supposed to work without CSS3, without JavaScript, and in text-only browsers. One more question: does the ULS try to work in MSIE 6 and 7, or is it disabled in these browsers? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
