Joanna Grey 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Noticed quite a few weird looking posts recently which seem to coincide with a recent Windows update for IE 8. To display your posts correctly in IE 8 you need to use "compatibility mode" - either set it in the "tools" drop down menu or select it by clicking the "broken page" icon to the right of the address bar.
