I visited a Flow page in IE8, which is 8% of WMF audience according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Target_browser_matrix (and more elsewhere I think).
There are issues with Flow's local Agora CSS override in IE8:
- Gray backgrounds on secondary buttons (they should appear without any button border).
- Buttons aren't rounded.
- Thank icon goes away on mouseover.
- "Start a new topic" text field and textarea both have no blue bar on focus.
- Textarea has no placeholder (see http://www.jacklmoore.com/notes/form-placeholder-text/ ,also there's a jquery.placeholder in core, and Matt Flaschen had a placeholder patch for Login forms).
- Green [Add topic] button text looks poor.
For now this is a Flow bug, but at some point a version of this CSS will migrate to core (bug 54360). https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/93584 may already have relevant LESS workarounds.
