Description: Site looks pretty bad in IE right now. Even IE11 is looking pretty messed up. Test back to IE8 and get things looking better. Also need to update the check for instantiating the app so only IE11+ gets JS. This is because I'm using MutationObserver and I don't really want to create a Polyfill.

Hi Stephen, I work on the Internet Explorer team and wanted to chime in with an observation and suggestion (Nice site by the way).

The current feature detection for touch states that Internet Explorer 10 and 11 are both touch enabled, even on devices that do not support touch. This prevents the no-touch class from being added to the <body> element, thus breaking the behavior of the pseudo elements that appear when you hover the Read Article text.

We're currently doing a lot of work with flexbox that you can expect to see in a future release. For now, please consider signing up for the remoteIE service where you can test our freshest bits via the cloud. Alternatively, you could become a Windows Insider and get even faster updates as we continue working on Windows 10 as well as Internet Explorer.

If you happen to have any questions about flexbox support in Internet Explorer, please feel free to reach out to me or @gregwhitworth.

Keep up the (truly) amazing work.

Hi @jonathansampson, thanks so much for the comment. I'm actually in the process of downloading VirtualBox right now so I can fix all my IE issues over the next week or so. Really appreciate the touch enabled link. I'll give you a nudge when I've fixed up my IE issues as I'd love some more feedback.
