Scatterby made a thread about quoting problems in Internet Explorer and also about an update to a more modern browser message appearing when on this forum. There's also been display problems for some IE users where users avatars are appearing over the posting rather than to the left as normal.

 

Jonmark on the Social Strata help forum has come up with an answer to all of these. Check to see if the compatability mode has been set on for this forum (Tools - Compatability View Settings). If Gagajoyjoy is shown there, click on it and remove it. Then restart IE and see if that helps. I use IE8 when I'm not using Firefox, and this has worked for me.

 

If people who use IE9 are having the display problems and need to change the Compatability Mode, Windows has changed the way this is done. I found this on the Microsoft site. I don't use IE9 as I use Windows XP so have no way on knowing whether this will work.

 

How to use Compatibility View in Internet Explorer 9

Websites that were designed for earlier versions of Windows Internet Explorer might not display correctly in Internet Explorer 9. However, you can often improve how a website will look by using a feature called Compatibility View.

When you turn on Compatibility View, the website you're viewing will be displayed as if you were using an earlier version of Internet Explorer.

If Internet Explorer recognizes a webpage that isn't compatible, you'll see the Compatibility View button on the Address bar. To turn Compatibility View on, click the Compatibility View button to make the icon change from an outline Picture of the Compatibility View button [off) to a solid color Picture of the Compatibility View button [on).

From now on, whenever you visit this website, it will be displayed in Compatibility View. However, if the website receives updates to display correctly in the current version of Internet Explorer, Compatibility View will automatically turn off.

If a website doesn't display correctly, you can turn off Compatibility View by clicking the Compatibility View button Picture of the Compatibility View button [on)
