SignPuddle now works with Internet Explorer

[GerardM]

Hoi,
Personally I want every browser to work properly with any website. The
problems is that almost all browsers do not support the standards that
underpin the Internet properly. The aim of Wikis is to provide people with
information in their language and it is for this reason important to be able
to reach out to everyone. So I am really happy that MediaWiki is tested on
almost all browsers continuously.

What I have found in the Wiki world is that the editors often prefer to use
Firefox over Internet Explorer. That is to be expected. What you also find
is that the number of people using Firefox as a user is much higher then
what you would expect given the "official" numbers of people using whatever
browser.

I am really happy that SignPuddle supports Internet Explorer !!

Thanks,
    Gerard
