Just on my work laptop, and the site doesn't look well on XP/IE8 (Don't even start that discussion)

The thing is I'm sure that it was fine a while back, has something been broken adding the like button?

Does anyone else have IE8 running anywhere (as it could just be my crappy laptop)

theres a compatability button in the address bar, have you tried pressing that? or is it IE9 on?

I think that must be IE9 onwards (the compatibility button often causes more problems than it resolves)

The compatability button does cause more problems than it solves. Could you take a screenshot for me?

I installed a newer version of tapatalk and that did some changes that I recently fixed, it might be related to that. I've also installed the Like button, but any changes made there should only affect how that looks.

TBH there's a few issues here and there in the template that need ironing out (mostly admin side) but I don't have time for them at present.

i thought i'd noticed that the default font size had increased, maybe this time last week.

I'm back on my own laptop now, it has IE 10 (not that I ever use it) but tried turning on compatibility mode, and that buggers the site in the same way I was seeing it on my work laptop..

Do you have IE10/W7 if not I'll stop being lazy and get a screenshot uploaded :)

I have IE8 on my laptop and IE9 on my desktop. I won't upgrade to 10 as it is more standards compliant and I have to do a lot of compatability testing for work. I'll take a look on my laptop at some point

I noticed that too,,,, but it was about the time I formatted so just assumed it was me :-)

You have compatability mode turned on, if the icon is blue you're on the highway to the dangerzone!

As a side, the default font size is what I should have fixed, you all should be back to normal now assuming you've not got the stylesheet cached, etc.

Yeah I know, but this is how IE8 shows it on my work laptop (there is no compatibility mode on IE8) :)

I just did it on my own laptop using this because I had logged off my work laptop.

Well you're right, I just tried it on my laptop and its shafted.  :thumbup: There does seem to be a compatability mode, but it looks identical anyway.

I might get round to fixing it at some point tomorrow, it might be fairly simple.
