Not sure I understand this ?

Did you mean IE 9.0 was the most popular IE version? (This is the first to support SVG)

or

"About 4% of the total logged http requests for the past few days were from IE 6/7/8 " Does this mean that of these 4%, IE8 is the most popular?

No, IE 8 is the most popular individual version of internet explorer. The different versions are roughly at:

MSIE 6.0 - 0.4% MSIE 7.0 - 1.1% MSIE 8.0 - 2.5% MSIE 9.0 - 1.5% MSIE 10.0 - 1.2%

I forgot that Internet Explorer 11 uses a different browser id, so it isn't included.

Windows 7 and 8 Users will automatically get this as an update, so I suspect lots are missing from this count?

Take these values with a pinch of salt, it's a small sample and the methodology is pretty poor. I suspect that many of the 6.0 requests are spoofed, so that's a pretty high error.

...

Are the version of other browsers Chrome, Opera etc new enough to work with SVG?

They've all supported SVG for a long time: http://caniuse.com/svg

Thanks for clarification. I think this means we can switch to default SVG - those using IE6,7,8 really ought to upgrade anyway and all they will lose is the pictures. This will also benefit those reading on their mobile computing devices ;-) Do we have a consensus on this? Shall I start a new thread for this specific decision? Paul --- Paul A.
