The only way to move forward is to ignore them. Put up a message that advises to install Chrome or Firefox and get rid of all the cruft that supports browsers older than 5 years. Most probably already have a modern browser installed but use IE out of habit. I see it at large corporations all the time. I even heard "I wish it would remind me to just use Chrome"

- nerpderp83 9y agoI agree, but simply telling user to download a better browser could be a pretty condescending attitude. Falling back to a css-less html 4 would be more responsible for everyone.
- spiderfarmer 9y agoIt could sound condescending, but the amount of people really limited to IE9 or IE10 without an alternative is really, really small.

- irrational 9y agoUnfortunately that isn't an option for us. We are mandated to support everyone. And those people on IE are retail sales associates using our site on hardware that simply cannot be upgraded. It must be replaced to get a newer browser. But the replacement cycle is measured in decades.
