Description Brion Vibber 2005-06-29 00:04:44 UTC 
The new CSS-based handling of the question-mark (non-redlinks) formatting for
broken links doesn't work on Internet Explorer (tested MSIE 6.0 on Windows XP SP1).

In the Classic skin it goes so far as to show the brokenlinks as blue, so
they're not distinguishable from live links.

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2009-03-06 02:13:30 UTC 
This is resolved as of IE 8 release candidate.
Comment 3 Siebrand Mazeland 2009-06-04 11:03:09 UTC 
Update Web browser. Closed, fixed in IE8.
Comment 4 Brion Vibber 2011-02-07 23:35:02 UTC 
Changing from FIXED to WONTFIX to clarify that we know it fails on old IE 6 and 7 and deliberately have no interest in tweaking it to work there. (Summary indicates that only 7 and below are affected.)
