Anyone else having problems viewing G3 v3.0.9 galleries on IE11, released with Win 8.1? IE crashes when I try to visit my Gallery site. If I put the site to compatibility mode it doesn't crash, but the page doesn't show up properly or work at all. If I disable protected mode (by putting the site in the trusted zone) it seems to work fine.

EDIT:
See my post here: http://galleryproject.org/node/110841

G3 will not work with "enhanced protected mode" enabled in IE11, just like in IE10. However, this option is enabled by default with IE11. I'm guessing this is going to be a bigger problem as people upgrade to Windows 8.1.

Any possibility G3 will be updated to work properly in enhanced protected mode sometime in the future?

To disable enhanced protected mode in IE11:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced (tab) -> Security (section) -> Enable enchanced protected mode

You could also keep enhanced protected mode enabled and add the site(s) having problems into the Trusted Sites zone in IE11. By default protected mode is disabled for this zone. If it isn't by default on someone else's system for some reason, it can be easily disabled:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security (tab)
