Sorry to do this to you Lego, but better warned, than not.

I've just installed Windows 8 for work and was having a look here on Dakka to see how IE10 handled itself. The answer is, unfortunately, not all that well here.
By default the browser seems to be set to Quirks mode, which is causing some issues with your table layouts.

I can see from the html structure that the debug tools are offering that you've got three nested tables like so:

<table>
    <table>
    <table>

In Quirks mode, IE10 is making the bold table the same height as the italic table, which in turn forces the italic table waaaaaaaaaay down the page so that it appears under the page footer.

If I turn on Standards mode, the page content returns to where it's supposed to be, but suddenly shows three rows of the yellow dashes each time, instead of one.

I'm just on my way out the door, otherwise I'd have a better look for you. Sorry!

Thanks for the heads up. So many tables on here still, mainly because rewriting in a pretty CSS form would take ages when I'd sooner work on new features. Hopefully it is just a small tweak when I get a chance to play with win 8. Probably be a few months from now though.

Also, I'm having trouble navigating the page using Netscape Navigator.

Seriously, who uses IE?

But seriously, I routinely browse Dakka using IE6 (you've probably never heard of it)...

While some people might actually like IE, the only reason I use it as much is that it is the only browser installed in our ancient computers at work. So for us poor souls who only have Dakka to sustain us, IE functionality is much appreciated.

IT teacher of mine: 'IE sucks! Take chrome!"
Hence, my school has chrome

I'll support pretty much anything with 5% or greater market share to the point where it should at least be functional. IE is unfortunately still in that range alas.

Oh for the day when I can stop supporting IE6! I can certainly understand not wanting to rewrite the whole layout with CSS, it's a lot of work when there's more interesting things to work on

My last job officially stopped supporting IE6 like 2 years ago... As soon as IE9 came out we made the announcement, and if it detected IE6, it would redirect you to the Firefox download page with a popup box letting them know.

Sadly we work with a lot of UK government bodies that are all still stuck on IE6 for internal systems. Some are lucky and have recently upgraded to IE7
