 * There is a bug when viewing a wordpress member’s profile using Internet Explorer
   8. The profile name overlaps the word “wordpress ideas” here:
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/profile.php?id=151374](http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/profile.php?id=151374)
 * Try it with IE8. WordPress should make sure it’s 100% compatible with Internet
   explorer 8.

 * IE8 is still in beta testing. WordPress can not make itself compatible with every
   beta software out there.
    Just as well go ask MS why they can’t make a standards
   compliant browser.

 * (IE 8 is released, no longer beta).
 * IE8 users always have the option of clicking a button by the address bar to go
   into compatibility mode while the world determines if they’re going to make adjustments
   for one, new, browser.

 * that’s right, it’s only one new browser, but according to download.com it’s already
   had 11,204,681 downloads:

 * It’s also due to be released via windows update for Windows xp users over the
   next few days so most people using IE7 will probably upgrade.
 * IE8 displays websites correctly to the highest standards, so if wordpress needs
   Compatibility mode then it’s not up to the highest standards and it should be.

 * I must be missing something basic. That profile URL [http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/profile.php?id=151374](http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/profile.php?id=151374)
   looks equally hideous in Firefox, Safari 4 beta (windows), Chrome 2.0 (beta I
   think), and Opera 9.64.
 * So’s this one (first one I found) [http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/profile.php?id=156162](http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/profile.php?id=156162)
 * Compliance is achieved! WordPress Ideas profiles _is_ 100% compatible with IE8!
   Yay!
 * Moving on now…

 * lol.samboll, it was funny to find a mod who thought ie8 was still in beta.lol.
 * anywayz, ie8’s aim was to display websites in the most standards compliant way.
