Hi 
Could I get some feedback on he following.

We recently had a dnn skin developed on Bootstrap 3 by an experienced DNN skin developer.
IE 8 displays as mobile despite  which is not correct.
As far as I can tell, the IE8 fix being in place correctly. 

We've tried to get it fixed but the developers response is he does not support IE8 .

This seems a little unfair. We all wish IE8 would go away but there are still a lot of XP pc's out there and there will be for a while.

 What are your thoughts? 
All I want to do is get this resolved asap.

Thank you in advance

Tony

      

Did you tell the skin dev, in advance, what browsers it needed to work in?

There are an increasing list of places/tools that don't support IE8 - Google Apps, Disqus, jQuery 2.

From Troy Hunt's blog post (http://www.troyhunt.com/2013/01/the-i...) "...someone has no doubt done the ROI on it and said “Yeah, the value we’ll get from supporting that small, declining audience is actually worth dedicating someone to the task”. Great, but someone has to pay for it and whilst NYT hasn’t exactly “done a Kogan”, someone there has had to shell out a fair bit of cash to make this thing play nice with the old guy."

By "done a Kogan" he means this from Jun 2012. http://www.kogan.com/au/blog/new-inte...

Have you estimated the ROI of supporting IE8? It's not gonna be free!

Hi Thanks for all your feedback.
We did not specify IE8 as a requirement , but it also seems the issue is in IE9. I'm not blaming the developer so much, I'm just looking to resolve the issue as well as a menuing issue on mobile.
While not many of our members are on IE8, around 10%, we would still like to resolve the issue, unless the costs are prohibitive.

Therefore, if any one can a developer with bootstrap3 & DNN experience, or is interested themselves, please pm me.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Tony
