Hi,

We had an issue over SSL where IE8 was looking terrible on certain people's IE8 browsers (although not all).
We tracked the issue down to where the theme calls HTML5Shiv from the google CDN.
Because it uses the HTTP and the site was HTTPS it caused the script not to load and this is what caused the trouble.

We fixed it by changing the CDN URL call to HTTPS://etc from HTTP
There shouldn't be a problem with making the default HTTPS, and it would shore up against similar problems for others, as it was quite hard to figure out.
I know there is the option to host local which is great, but I think some people won't recognise this as the problem, and saw some comments about HTML5Shiv failing on the issue list and wondered if it was the due to the above.

... this also applies to the IE7 script too.

Cheers.
