    Hi! I've got a user with IE8 and he just sees a square box in the start page and a strange layout on other pages.

    Am I right that IE8 is not supported? Can you suggest a plugin which shows users of old browsers a custom message when she/he is using an old browser version?

    Unfortunately IE8 support was dropped about half a year ago - to support it now would require some custom development

    I supposed that. That's why I asked if you know a good plugin I can use to show the visitor a custom message when he/she is using a specific (i.e. old) browser.

    Thanks! Can you tell me which are the smallest required browser versions for the most common browsers? (Safari, IE, Firefox, ...)

    Try feeding an old version of jQuery to IE8 (i used conditional comments in the header.php file). I got pretty much all the JS errors fixed by using conditional comments giving jQuery version 1.9.0 only to IE8 but keeping version 1.11.1 for modern browsers.

    Thanks for the hint :) I think I'll stick with the developers decision and will search for a "old browser not supported" plugin :)
