 * Hi, i’ve a problem with ie8.
    I have imported the blogs from version wp 3.1.3
   to 3.5.1. New blogs are showing fine in ie8 but the old ones stop loading after
   the header. I discovered that the old ones has empty tags or tags with remarks.
   The new ones doesn’t have that. Please does anybody has a solution?? best regards

   I strongly recommend that you consider switching to a more recent theme asap.

 * I tried several themes new ones they have not only the same problem, older blogs
   are not displayed in ie8 but also doesn’t it display the banner. The only thing
   i know is ie8 does not handle empty tags. For some reason they are only in the
   imported blogs.
    any other suggestion? best regards

 * Don’t use ie8…?
 * While that’s not really directly solving your problem it seems you’ve confirmed
   that ie8 is the culprit on several themes.

 * yeah, i do not use ie but the blog readers with windows xp and ie explorer will
   do/try.the problem is that ie is common used and the highest possible version
   on xp is ie8. So it seems good thing the blogs works on ie8 as well.
    However
   the new blogs functions very good, so maybe i must live with it and place a lot
   of new blogs.
 * best regards
