This is stange. At home I was testing under IE9, Firefox 9 then 10 and Chrome and had no problem.
At work IE8 is still being used and to my surprise, there a few things that don't look right.
Some buttons have text show under it, see image below. What is strange is that I don't see the problem with your forum here. I switched from my theme to the Default theme (I always activate the 1st one when I need to test something, it's the berries'n'cream one). And I also removed all the custom style code added to Suffusion theme and I also tried with another theme like TwentyEleven.
Finally, I discovered that the post toolbox (little wrench icon) is not even showing up at all under IE8. I would not mind to block IE6 users but I think IE8 may still be around.

yes, we support IE 8... the forum tools works fine for me... so is this your own theme or one of ours?? a couple updates ago, we had to change something with the forum tools and if you didnt do the same change in your own theme, could be an issue...

Like I wrote I tested with Berries'n'Cream. I removed all the custom code I added to WP theme Suffusion and I even switched to the WP TwentyEleven theme.

I can try to look at this further this weekend... but frankly, tired of adding special code just to make IE happy... IE 9 is the first one to attempt to be standard... IE 10 is even better...

Fine, just take a quick look. Like I said I have no problem displaying a message for IE6 users but I'm not sure about IE8. There must be a WP plugin to block all unwanted browsers. Whatever, I'm not even live... hehe just anticipating.

oh, do plan to look closer again... it worked for me on this site, but need to look at yours... and unfortunately, you are correct, still bunch of IE 8 unlucky souls that have to use it... but if the js is not working, gonna be a tough one to fix as the IE dev tools are quite lacking too...

Just curious how do you test with different browsers, do you use Virtualization softwares?
On my side I have a PC at home running IE9, Firefox and Chrome. At work we are still running IE8 so that's where I first noticed the problem. The easy way I found to run IE8 at home is spoon.net but haven't used it for a long time and now it looks like we only have 2 minutes a day. 
Not much for testing.
Anyway, I need to sort this out soon. I'd like to go live in the coming weeks but there are still a few things here and there that prevents this. Slowly but surely I'll get there!

IE 9 developer tools let you run it as any IE version 7 - 9...
and btw, some of the css stuff is not going to get adjusted for... IE 8 doesnt support rounded borders or gradients, etc... so it really needs more css work than I am going to worry about... the forum tools though, need to look at that...

Nice! Well not really. I mean that's cool, I just installed it and that's great, I didn't know about it. But now I think I will have to block IE7 for sure and I'll wait a bit for IE8 and see what you come up with. I'll see which WP plugin I can install for this and one that can block only some specific page would be nice.
Thanks

hehe! http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....r-blocker/ was just updated to block specific page!
It's pretty new so I'm sure it will evolve nicely in the comming weeks.
