I have been receiving many comments and mails reporting browser incompatibility, mainly IE6 and IE8. One of iDream user Diana was kind enough to send a screenshot of her homepage having IE6 issues. Many of the users confuse between IE6 and IE8, I am not sure why.

The issues with IE6 are many, mainly with 24 bit PNG graphics and CSS, I have attached IE6 and IE8 screenshots. You can also test your site in different browsers using http://browsershots.org/ , I use adobe browser lab for browser testing. All the links with 24 bit PNG graphics as CSS background becomes non-clickable and they appear distorted.
IE6 is officially dead, Google phased out support for IE6, Microsoft said to have sent flowers for IE6 funeral. There is no point in trying to fix IE6 issues compromising the look and feel of the themes along with some Java Script functionality.

The only issue I can see on IE8 screenshot is the blurred text. Which is caused by IE8 filter called ClearType, you can remove the feature by following few steps.
-> Click on “Tools” on menu bar
-> Go to “Internet Options”
-> click on “Advanced” tab
-> In “settings” options scroll down to “Multimedia”
-> Uncheck Box for “Always use Clear Type for HTML”
-> Press “Apply” and “OK”
I would love to have your comments and suggestions for next templates and versions. Please write your blog URL when reporting bug/error.
