In 6 months I doubt IE8 will exist. It's losing market share at about 1% a month. Was 8.5% in April so now it'll be about 4% probably.

9,767 PointsIt's working ok for me on IE9, think that's the one I have, shipped with Windows 7. Media queries are working nicely. Logo shrinks and menu stacks. What's not working for you?
Only thing I would mention, as the pages become more vertical, the excess section height isn't reduced so there's a lot of empty space on the site. Is that what's not working? Everything else works a treat. Very nice job done! :)

9,445 Pointsoh i forgot to mention in my first post that its not working in ie8. Thanks i'll defintely change size of the pages.

7,742 PointsThere is no media query support for IE8 and below. You could try this jQuery plugin for older browser support: https://github.com/ryanve/response.js.

9,445 PointsI'm using respond.js but for some reason some of my media query rules will not work

7,742 PointsWhich version are you using? I'm not seeing it being loaded in Chrome Dev Tools. It could be a jQuery version conflict.

Julian McNeill
9,445 Pointsit wont be shown loading in chrome i think because i have a conditional statement if anyone is using ie8 or less

Courses Plus Student 14,839 PointsI agree, I would not worry too much about IE8. The market share is decreasing. On another note, I just want to say that your site looks awesome Julian McNeill. Keep up the awesome work!
