Help me please! Windows IE 8 browser settings?

[mtnman]

I'm having a problem with my computer, and my wife's computer.  Mine is XP SP3, hers is Vista.  I have Internet Explorer 8, I think she does too.

For the most part, we have no problems.  However, on a few select websites, we're unable to see the "whole" page, or the links to take you to the other pages at that site.

The one in particular I've noticed this on is my state falconery club Home page.  I see only part of the info, and no links to the directors page, events page, etc.  This is what I see-





This is identical on my wife's computer...

Do I have a setting messed up?  Something disabled?  Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks!

I had very much the same problem when I updated to IE8, in fact with Hitechs home page, and still do.
 
Have you tried clicking the the broken page button between the the pull down arrow and the refresh button on the address bar?

p.s. I'm going to be hitting you up for some remedial TA time soon.  <S>

I've found IE 8 to have a lot of issues.

Ya, I've tried that, but no luck.  Also played with the pop-up blocker, again with no luck.

TA sounds good, but I may be out of the game until I can get a new joystick.  Mine won't hold a calibration anymore, and the view keeps getting stuck looking at the right wing.  If you see me on, holler though.

i had this problem on a few websites myself, i found that the zoom on the page, was at like 150%. try holding CTRL and scrolling your mousewheel back till about 100%. or if your able to see the magnifying glass in the lower right of the page, set that to 110-100%

You could also try Seamonkey or Firefox

Zoom was at 100, I lowered/raised it with no difference.

OK, I'll give it a whirl.  Is one better than the other?

Firefox Rocks!
Here is a link to download it...

Hmmm...it may only be coincidence, but you are about the fourth person (in the last few days) I have heard mention that their stick keeps losing calibration.

It's just worn out.  I can never get them to last more than about a year or so, so I just use the replace option and go get a brand new one.

OK, I'm the proud new owner of a Firefox browser.

It fixed the issue I was having with the website!

I also like the auto spell-check thing going on with this post!

And it's fixed the issue I was having with typing when I take up more space than this little box allows!  Look out world!  More long posts otw!

Thanks guys!

Compatibility mode. You have to enable it in IE8 then any website that doesn't display properly, set IE8 to view that site in compatibility mode. If you set it properly there should be an icon next to the address bar at the top that looks like a green outlined piece of paper torn in half...that is your shortcut command to view in compatibility mode.

... or just use a compatible browser. IE is junk like most MS product, always has been. I like Firebird and Safari
