When I go to wowdb in IE 8, the tab says I have 11 characters, but none show unless I use IE 8's compatibility view.  Is there a plan to support IE 8 in the future?

firefox

going to point our dev for the db sites here.

yes, in the next big updates for all the DB sites, we will be adding in support for IE8. in the meantime, the compatibility view will work

Great place for devs to look at:
