Does not work in IE8 was created by Zeno
Testing www.mudportal.com/play?host=biyg.org&port=1801&clean on IE:
In IE8, all I get is a blank screen with the blue background image. Nothing more (no telnet, no Game Center, nor my custom bg).
There was a chunk of JS errors in the console log. Also happens in IE9 that I just tested.

For IE < 10, you should now be seeing the incompatible browser warning, with a link suggesting what to do. The warning has been there for a while, but a recent issue prevented it from actually showing up for IE8 and 9.
Basically, the app requires a browser with Websocket support and doesn't fall back to Flash. I don't see any point in adding clunky Flash support, considering that the vast majority of users today are either on tablet & mobile, or have access to a better browser than IE8 & 9.

Ah okay thanks, I see the warning now.
How about adding a bit more flavor text? Something like: "Alternatively, try using another web browser that is up-to-date such as Chrome or Firefox"

Done.
I could also add a Config parameter that will redirect users on older browsers to a URL that you provide. Would that be useful?
