Hi hogkammen,

It is not my intention to support Internet Explorer in the current versions (1.10 and 1.10.1.) or going forward.

As mentioned in the FAQ’s on this site, I support Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

I just checked my Google Analytics account, and in the past 30 days less than 2% of visitors to this site were using IE. And I can guarantee that the number will continue to drop very quickly.

Meanwhile, IE has always been the worse browser for web standards compliance. I have to check my work in all five of the browsers and I do run into issues between them, and those little glitches can end up taking a lot of development time. But if I were to include IE in that mix it would easily make the process 10x as much work.

Having said of all that, I appreciate you sending those screenshots so I did take a look at them. It seems that most of the issues are with the Open and Check boxes on the Client landing page. I hate those! I put a lot of work into those — believe it or not — and they are still a mess. I am probably going to completely redesign them for the next release.

The other issue you’ve shown here is with the mobile menu. IE mangles it really well… almost like a 1980’s horror movie. I will see if I can fix that up a bit in the next release without getting too carried away. Please do not expect perfection.

To be honest, I haven’t had the guts to even look at my latest work in IE. It looks a lot better than I would have thought!
