If 1 or 2 registered members used IE, would I support the minority?
Personally I would completely drop IE support, but that's just my opinion.

Once you stop worrying about legacy IE versions, your web development will be easier and more cost effective.

I'd like to plead a case with you: dropping support for IE11 entirely. 1% of our traffic comes from IE11 users. However the amount of issues, workarounds, and limitations coming from it is disproportional. As we continue to move forward with modern web presentation frameworks, IE11 becomes a major roadblock and distraction.

Home users exploiting Microsoft's decision to keep IE for Corporate users.
They tied the life and death of IE 11 to Windows 10. Unlike IE is Windows 10 it is an evergreen operating system, automatic major updates every 6 months. IE 11 will get Technical Updates as long as Windows 10 gets supported.

Windows 10 will get support until the next Version of Windows, but Windows 10 is the last Version of Windows, thus IE 11 is immortal.

Microsoft ensured that corporations could update to Windows 10 without breaking internal web apps. Microsoft cannot kill Internet Explorer 11.

@Mops21 Are you using IE11 on Windows 10 v1809 (latest stable builds), or something else?

@Mops21 of course I don't speak for @Jack but as that specific browser issue is with Internet Explorer and consider what Microsoft themselves state, I personal think one sorry to say have to live with it or simply transfer and start use another newer, better and more safe browser. Edge, Chrome, FireFox, Opera etc.



Hi @upnorth

@Spawn I use Windows 8.1 64 Bit Windows with IE11

@Jack - there is a bug in the Smilys feature. I have encountered this --> Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK)::D It appears randomly I think when applying a Smiley. You can see an example in the last post of @shmu26 April Fools thread.
Fixed. :p

Also this morning for about 40 minutes the server/datacenter had a Network issue. You might have seen an Error 524/520 when trying to load the site. This is now fixed, and hopefully it won't happen again for a very long time.

The site down like 10 mins ago. Someone DDOS MalwareTips?
the server/datacenter had a Network issue
No, basically the datacenter where the server is located had a network issue (someone tripped over the Internet cable? :p). It happens from time to time, even to way bigger sites.
