I know, I know. But we still have users who are using it (several old company guidelines).

I am pretty sure that when we set our site live that it was viewable with internet explorer (11).  
But now, the site is blank.  
We have https enforced and run 2.4.0.beta10 - which will turn 11 over the weekend.

On my testsite which went from beta9 to 11 and which does not have https enabled, I get a hint that my browser is too old.

On our live-site the page comes blank and in the logs I see an error

This was fixed a few days ago, so the problem should be resolved as soon as you update your site 🙂

But also, note that we will be dropping IE11 support in June:

> Why is Discourse dropping IE11 support? From the beginning, Discourse has been built for the future of the internet. Discourse relies on current, evolving web standards as it is developed. Microsoft is no longer updating IE11 to support modern web standards, they are only providing security updates and support.
