Question K 1.6 and Internet Explorer 7

Hello,

there are still some css issues in IE7 (on FF looks everything fine as almost.. ) also here kunena.com:

1. Subforums layout are broken



2. Buttons with missing round corners and page-number borders are nok



3. Report to moderator to right and bottom, title and date in two lines and width of the info-box on the right to small if avatar smaller (see middle post).

G'day, roland76. Looks like you've found a few more eccentricities with IE7 and K 1.6. I remember writing

It is quite difficult (some might say impossible) to test for every web browser that has ever been released. I think that it's reasonable to say that the main browsers will be catered for, namely Mozilla Firefox 3.5, IE 8 (and, to a lesser extent, IE7) and Google Chrome simply because, between them, they have 83.8% of the market share. There will be compatibility issues for other browsers but one hopes they won't be too significant.

I realise that this is not much comfort for IE7 users (particularly as the developers have a desire to ensure that K 1.6 does operate with KE 7) but, really, with only 8.1% of total market share , I don't have an abundance of sympathy for the size of the problem, either.

I hope someone can provide you with a more constructive answer to fix these problem for you.

K 1.6 alpha had IE7 CSS support.K 1.6 beta on the other hand has had the IE7 "bits" removed (or so it seems to me). So basicly my question is are we supporting IE 7 or not?

Hello sozzled,

thanks for the answer.

No worry, I don't ask for help or a solution. I just want to help in testing and show things that I found... So if someone takes time to solve that than it's fine, if not I can also understand it and it's also ok...

By the way... On my site for example 18,3 % IE7 and 14,4 % IE6... These depends on our site clientel... Here on kunena.com a lot of tech / internet - freaks, they have mostly the newest software / browser. On my site a lot of people from normal companies and they are a little bit slower in upgrading (or have more restriction to do that)...

Thanks for both replies (Cerberus and roland76). I wish I had an answer. I can say, quite reliably, that as from K 1.6 there is no "special" accommodation for IE 6. IE 6 is a lame duck issue as far as K 1.6 is concerned. I am also reasonably confident that K 1.7 will not have any special allowance for IE 7. I have it on good authority that K 1.6 will accommodate IE 7 (as well as IE 8, obviously).

If those "special" IE 7 tweaks have been removed from the latest K 1.6 development builds then I, too, would like to know why there's been a sudden policy switch.

Why I have this error in the template with IE ?

The column on the left is very little and there are also others error that you can see
