I'd like to know what the general consensus is on this matter. Don't worry about being fussy. I've been doing front-end for many years. So, I totally get it.<div><br></div><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><br></div><div>Anyway, I hope someone else has a better answer!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>John Heimkes IV</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 31, 2013, at 6:03 PM, Srikanth Koneru <<a href="mailto:tskk79@gmail.com">tskk79@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Since IE has at least 30% browser share, I think theme has to support it.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 5:31 AM, Alex Watson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alex@alexwatson.co.uk" target="_blank">alex@alexwatson.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<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>
