I don't see any best viewed in IE on the default page. Fixed?

Comment 4

[WulfTheSaxon [:Wulf]]

He never responded to my emails (two to that address and another to webmaster@). The site has been redesigned now and that page doesn't mention it anymore. However, a quick site search still turns up a couple references to IE. Changing severity to trivial.

evangelism bugs are marked fixed when the site fixes their content.

Except they didn't actually fix anything. I just realized that there was never really a bug-worthy issue.
