Hi. I need to better understand what this will mean come next June. I haven’t touched IE in many years, but I do have a significant number of users who do use it on older computers, and these are not users in a position to easily change browsers or buy new computers! I need to know what “dropping su…

We are still discussing the details of it, and will release our official plan in mid January.

Thanks. There are still many users trapped in IE without recourse, and these are often users with minimal computer skills on old computers that they cannot afford to replace, and who would not be able to easily switch to another browser (which is usually why they’re still on IE now!). Also, these ar…

Support will be dropped for Internet Explorer not for old PCs. As far as I know, Firefox is available everywhere Internet Explorer 11 is.

You’re missing the point. These are users who cannot easily switch to and learn new browsers. They would have switched long ago if they could have. I take it you don’t support any special needs users yourself, right? No friends or family with special needs far away stuck on old computers with old br…

Are these users of a forum you’re maintaining, or is this theoretical? Feedback about how we could minimize disruption due to the depreciation is always welcome. Outside of a few exceptions that are on legacy enterprise systems, within our hosting purview we see about 1% overall IE11 usage. Discou…

I understand where you’re coming from, and appreciate that you’re looking out. We just need to draw a line somewhere unfortunately. It is possible that we could serve our no-JS/web-crawler view to users on unsupported browsers; at the very least that would grant them the ability to access the commu…

Thanks very much. Please let me know if my input can be of any use during this process.

Lauren as someone Disabled myself I feel very strongly about your core message. I also have two elderly parents who are still “in the game” with iPhones and a Win10 computer and I spend a lot of time working with them on how text messages and email are not the same thing, etc. My point is meant to…
