I am using BP Social Theme for the website http://svn.amebylon.net/
The website is not visible with IE browsers, but works with most others (I checked this on http://browsershots.org )
When I validate the website at http://validator.w3.org
I get numerous errors that seem to be associated with how the menus are generated (list of errors included further below).
I am using WP 3.3.2, BP 1.5.5, Social Theme 1.3.5.
I tried turning off all plugins and the website is still not visible with IE browsers.
Any suggestions on how to avoid below errors and get the site working in IE browsers?
Thanks,
David

ddolenc,
Hi and Thanks for posting!
Despite the results of your browser checker I am able to see your site wonderfully in both IE and Firefox. I also tested it in chrome and they all displayed nicely :)
While the markup validation may be finding these errors, they are not critical and would be causing HTML errors if they were breaking. Are you having any display issues?
I will report this, just to make sure that we can look into cleaning this up if need be :)

KimberlyL,
Thank you for your fast response. Could you please let me know the IE version that you used to check the website? I received complaints from people using IE8 that they only see a blank page. Do you have any ideas why this would be the case?
Best,
David

I used IE9. IE is so tempermental.
I did a quick test, installing the latest theme version and opening in IE9 and it displayed fine.
Have your IE8 users tried compatablility mode?
