I know TB butt most users love IE  >:(
And tomorrow there is a update from Microsoft.

First  of al IE is not a W3C compatible browser has to much problems for proper displaying websites... beter go advise your users to use a browser like Chrome,Firefox,Opera... or any other but not IE if they not wanted to be hacked or maybe worse keep that in mind ;)

If you wanted to force compatibility mode, you could try adding the following to index.template.php

Code (Find) Select
<head>';

Code (Replace) Select
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> ';


The possible values of IE= are as follows:

Here are your options:

    "IE=edge"
    "IE=5"
    "IE=EmulateIE7"
    "IE=7"
    "IE=EmulateIE8"
    "IE=8"
    "IE=EmulateIE9
    "IE=9"

"IE=edge" tells Internet Explorer to use the highest mode available to that version of IE.



A better methodology would be to advise your users to switch to a proper browser :P

You need to reread my post - what I listed are the options for the <meta> tag. You choose which one you want
