(Q.) What browsers are compatible with sites built using this theme?
(A.) We pride ourselves on being compatible with many browsers, especially the modern browsers that your visitors are using. We fully support Safari, FireFox, Cruz, Opera and Windows Internet Explorer. There are some options that work only in the more modern, standards compliant browsers. We outline any of these differences in the Variations section.
Recently Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8, which is a huge improvement over both previous versions (6 and 7). In doing so they've also announced that update notices for users of both IE 6 and IE 7 will be sent out via Windows' updater, helping to get these people using a modern browser.
Being that Internet Explorer 6 is about 6 - 7 years old now and no longer supported by Microsoft, we're dropping support for this browser as well.
We have been using Internet Explorer 8 in our testing of this theme and find it to be a huge leap forward for Microsoft, and we encourage all PC users to upgrade. You won't regret it.
