Hi everyone,

I'm requesting folks who have versions of IE < 8 to try something for
me. We're deprecating support for IE7 in a few months, and I've coded
up a little browser detection on WeScheme.org to tell folks to upgrade
their browsers if they're using an old version of IE.

If you do have such an old version of IE, can you visit the following
web site and confirm that you see a deprecation dialog window?

http://dyoo-test.appspot.com


Under deprecated IE browsers, what should show up is the following dialog:


#<<EOF
WeScheme detects that you are using IE 6/7. Note that WeScheme will no
longer support Internet Explorer 7 after June 1st, 2012. Please update
your browser to a newer version. These browsers include Chrome,
Firefox, or Safari.
EOF


Let me know if you see this or not. Thanks!

Although obviously those are all excellent browsers, you might want to
also suggest that they upgrade to a more recent version of IE,
especially since that may be the only possible option in some
locked-down environments.

Ok. The amended version now should say:


#<<EOF
WeScheme detects that you are using IE 6/7. Note that WeScheme will no
longer support Internet Explorer 7 after June 1st, 2012. Please update

your browser to a newer version. These browsers include recent versions of
Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
EOF

Thanks!
