IE 8 is very old. If you're on an operating system where IE 8 is the newest=
 IE available=2C you're going to be out of support in April unless you thro=
w money at Microsoft. IE 9 should work.

Thanks.

The bug is in futon.js in the page source=2C line 269: "Object doesn't supp=
ort this property or method"


} else if (userCtx.roles.indexOf("_admin") !=3D -1) {  // bug is here for I=
E
        $("#userCtx .adminparty").show()=3B
        $(".serverAdmin").removeAttr('disabled')=3B
} else {
        $("#userCtx .loggedout").show()=3B
}=3B

IE does not support indexOf on array objects. The code need to special case=
 for IE.

I suspect this is the page code the creates the login/sign in link. Now tha=
t I've found the problem=2C what do I do? Report it where? And of course=2C=
 how can I get a fix into a new build. I'm at a bit of a loss trying to und=
erstand how a bug like this could go undetected in an official release.

It's essential that Futon work with IE. Corporate and government installati=
ons dictate the what software is installed on machines. A user would not be=
 allowed to install a Couch compatible browser.

Thanks

Jason
