Or install Windows Vista, since IE9 on Windows Vista is still supported (as that is the highest available version for Vista).

Thank you hanakin :)

You guys have excellent older browser support...... I think your SW and Xenforo are 2 of the newer ones that show up the best on IE6 :) (Im using MyIE2 in front but MyIE2 is only an IE add-on)

yes but different forums can have different permissions set even though I am a mod. You can have one mod level permission on a forum and it will list you as a mod on that forum.

bump on this discussion as its been awhile and edge is picking up traction not to mention IE11. So where does that leave us?

I would vote for removing support for IE9 & IE10 thoughts?

Any new style should aim at supporting only supported versions. The average lifetime of a style should nowadays be longer than that of a browser version. Therefore I'm all for dropping support of IE9 & 10.
