I attached a couple files to a newsletter for our stake. One is a WORD doc and the other is a PDF. When I try to open the files by right clicking, using IE8, I get a message saying
"Unable to download. Unable to open this internet sight. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found." I have no trouble opening the files using IE9, firefox, or Chrome. Has the website folks completely given up on supporting IE8?

See attached video.

I wouldn't say they have given up supporting it. They have limited resources to devote to all the work they have. We have been told there are only two supported browsers for LDS.org Tools. IE8 is not one of them. I expect they will look into this issue when time permits
