Here at my job, I know that our web developers were bitching about IE8 because our company's website did some strange little funky things when viewed with IE8.

I don't know the details, but I know they had to make some software changes to our site to get IE8 to render it all correctly.

Perhaps the UBB.threads software that runs our Axiom forum isn't quite 100% compatible with IE8 yet either...

Thanks Ajax for the tip on ieSpell. I'll keep it in mind, but I'm stickin' with Firefox. I'm used to it and it works perfectly for all of 'my' sites. \:\)


Don't blame you one bit for sticking with what you know and like. Perfectly understandable.

I think MS knew there would be a few problems with a new browser and older websites not designed specifically for it. Hence, IE 8 comes with a "compatability view."
