I'm pretty much in agreement with Chip.<br>
<br>
My personal rule in regards to IE is to support the 2 latest
versions, which are currently 9 and 10.<br>

<div>Flatly not supporting one of the most commonly
found browsers (not necessarily used but it does come
with Windows) is not a very good idea; and although we
do not have any specific guidelines in place I think
if a Theme Author is going that route something that
significant should be in the Theme description.<br>
<br>
</div>
As it is, you would be better served by asking the Theme
author to explain that statement before making any
assumptions. As noted, it may only be that they are
supporting current versions of IE and simply left off
the version number in their readme file.<br>
<br>
</div>
Myself, for general distribution themes, I only support
current (or one version back at the most) browsers. I
don't state the actual version only making reference to
the browser being current. Of course, client work is
generally different but those "rules" do not necessarily
apply here.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>My personal opinion is if they're not going
to support certain browsers (aka, the browsers
most of us web developers have to support on a
daily basis), the author <i>should</i> make
it known up front - especially in the CSS file
for good documentation purposes. Some sort of
clarification from the author would be nice in
this case. Maybe they're just not supporting
older versions of IE and it looks fine in
IE10, and maybe even IE9.</div>

<div>Hi everyone!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I'm reviewing my first
theme, and a few mins into it
I find this in the readme.txt:</div>
<div><span
style="font-family:monospace;white-space:pre-wrap"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span
style="font-family:monospace;white-space:pre-wrap">*
NOT SUPPORTED on Internet
Explore *</span></div>
<div><span
style="font-family:monospace;white-space:pre-wrap"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span
style="white-space:pre-wrap">Is
that okay? Are themes
allowed to be built and not
work in IE at all? It's
probably the fussy web
developer side of me coming
out here, as everything I do
has to work in IE8+ :) I've
not got so far as to have
tested it in IE yet, but are
we even required to do cross
browser testing? I think we
should, but I can't see that
in the review guidelines
anywhere.</span></div>
<div><span
style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span
style="white-space:pre-wrap">Anyway,
please let me know if I'm
just being too fussy here!
(and sorry if this has been
asked before but I just
joined this mailing list a
couple of days ago)</span></div>
<div><span
style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br>

<div><span
style="white-space:pre-wrap">Many
thanks</span></div>
