IE 6-7 support?

v2.x supported IE7, so yeah. Since we dropped that we were able to make use of it.

Edit for typo

I feel like most people using bootstrap don't really care about supporting IE 6-7. If you're really serious about supporting these browser there are two main reasons :

- you want people from the companies who are forcing them to use IE, to be able to view the website as intended (and I'm sure they can understand that it doesn't look as good as on the latest version of Firefox)

- you want people in China to have the best experience on your website.

Then I believe you should look at other solutions.

Sorry, my typo made this more confusing. We never supported IE6. IE7 was supported through 2.3.2. With v3, we dropped IE7 and now support IE8+.

Really? I have had a look at bootswatch.com using IE8 and a lot of the stuff (certainly columns, drop-dows, and navbars) doesn't work at all. I just get javascript errors. I would contend that if you want something that works in IE8 then avoid this like the plague. Unless someone can tell me differently.

Presumably that is an issue with bootswatch.com?
