As I am on Chrome the one I know for Internet Exploder, I mean, Explorer 9 is the torn page icon...press that and compatibility mode is turned on...it still does the trick..

I've been using IE9 for a long time and have never had the problem you're describing.

consider yourself lucky.its a pain in the ars'e

At least you guys can change versions.

I installed IE8 and all indications on the computer is that I'm using IE8
but I'm constantly having sites telling me I'm using outdated IE6 and
should upgrade.
Then the frustration is rather than get a solution I get a workaround- use Firefox or something
else.

FWIW, ie9is no longer giving me any trouble. I went with an olderversion of FF for a while but it started to give me problems so I tried ie9 again and it seems to be fixed now.

If you want to stay with ie8 see if you can turn off updates but I'd try 9 if I were you. Of course I install all the updates etc, that might make a difference.

IE 9.0.8 here. Yes, I can type into the text box, but the box above that with the options to format text or insertl links or pictures is just empty. When I want to use the forum with those options I need to connect with Google Chrome.

Works here

and here:



ie 9.0.8112.16421

It still wants to put everything in front of everything else but is easily moved.

you probably don't have your zoom level set to 100%.  if you have it at anything other than 100% it will not show the buttons.
