is IE supported?

I don't use IE, but since it's just a browser, I don't see why not. I guess the easiest way to find out is to browse this site with IE.

The critical requirement will be support for Websockets.

Since NodeBB uses bootstrap there sadly should be support for IE 8+ (source).

Here's a website that will give you more info about your favorite browser and support for modern Web technologies: Iwanttouse.com.

IE8 is supported but currently broken and pending few fixes. stay tuned.

Perhaps we could have a plugin that detects if a visitor's browser is not supported, then auto-redirects to a page showing a list of supported browsers that the user may upgrade to.

@planner it's hard to tell if the browser is not supported, it's more like, this browser doesn't support that feature - however, with this pull request getting merged, I can say that NodeBB officially supports down to IE8 (decently) as of the latest, however, things like Drag N Drop and Paste from clipboard doesn't work, but it fallsback to the old-fashion select a file to upload type of thing.

Anything older than IE8 will probably look wonky, but to address your comment, you're right, maybe i should've added like a conditional to show an alert for really old browsers, without knowing what it does or does not support, with a link to browsehappy.com

6.5m people like you and I, except for the fact that they use IE and make the world harder for web-developers

Maybe a bit to much browser-hating for one post so I have to say that I like both: Chrome and Fx, Opera is OK too...
