I'm checking your site again in Chrome 25.0.1364.172 (OSX Mountain Lion) and all the images seem to be loading just fine for me. Can you please try clearing out your cache and cookies to see if that helps?

If you still see the problem, please take a screenshot of what you're seeing - or not seeing in this case - and upload the image to your Media Gallery and I'll be happy to take another look.

However, now in my galleries - I have images that are not showing up - in CHROME.

Here is the page again: http://missouriwaterfronthome.wordpress.com/home/.

Thanks for your help!!

(this is an awesome theme!!)

Can you let me know what version if IE you're using?

Thank you!

Then in Chrome/Firefox - everything works great!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.

1. Email notifications of new posts to subscribers (my blog, http://ukhumanrightsblog.com has over 4,000) now arrive from "wordpress.com" instead of the name of the blog. This is confusing and needs to be fixed.

Does this issue still happen?

2. The fade in/out haze feature is cute but should be optional. The sidebar features are really important on my blog and I want readers to be able to see them properly at all times. I tried to fix this via CSS but it seems to have returned today.

Unfortunately we don't have a plan to make it optional but you can force the opacity for the sidebar widgets with Custom CSS.

.widget-area {
	opacity: 1;
}

3. The 'edit' button is now at the bottom of posts rather at the top. This is a small point but it is annoying to have to scroll down to the bottom of posts when all you want to do is edit (not read) them.

I'm afraid to say we don't have a plan to chnage this but I can provide you CSS snippets to move the edit button.

.hentry {
	position: relative;
}
.edit-link {
	position: absolute;
		top: 5px;
		right: 5px;
}

Same problem here. I would love to switch my current 'Mistylook' to the new 'Mistylake' but I know some of my readers are still using Windows and XP. Too bad...I think the updated template is much nicer.

Since the time limit for this thread is up, please feel free to open a new thread if the issue still persists or you have any other question. I'm sorry that it took us so long to respond to your question.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We're working on a solution.

It should be noted that currently, only a very small percentage of users for WordPress.com use IE8, so unless the issue creates a significant usability or display problem (such as this one), we won't be actively supporting the browser for new themes.

I'll update you once a fix is in place.

I'm using Misty Lake on both of my blogs and I love this theme. I just viewed them both using IE8 and was no happy with the display I saw.

The opacity is completely missing using IE8 and the custom menus are vertically stacked above the header. Themes Staff need to be alerted to this. I have tagged this thread so it's moved to the Themes Forum where they can be notified of the issues.
