I have bought a Joomla template from Template monster. It looks like this template isn’t Ie8 fully compatible. I can’t count on support, because when entering their online chat, you get a fague chat bot.
The problem is that the template doesn’t show any text after the flash banner. In FF it all works great, but in Ie7,8 andabove not. Only the top menu and flash header.
This is the header

Just FYI on TinyMCE, if you go into TinyMCE’s plugin parameters in Extensions->Plugin Manager->Editor-TinyMCE the first parameter “Functionality” if you select “Extended” from the drop down list then TinyMCE will have an option to insert/embed media when you are editing your articles. And it does all the necessary code structure, you just have to select the flash.
