Poor UI design. Everybody steps in that minefield eventually. The compatibility pedalicon is nestled between the refresh and search icons, pretty much begging to be clicked by mistake.

What it does is effectively downgrade IE to an earlier version, 6, 7, or 8 depending on arcane divinations, warts and all. There's an icon of a broken document in the address bar. It's always broken, which I'm sure means something. When it's filled-in blue, compatibility mode is on and the Zone is broken. When it's a hollow outline, compatibility mode is off and the Zone works fine. When it's blue, click it. Makes perfect sense to me.

There’s an icon of a broken document in the address bar. It’s always broken, which I’m sure means something. When it’s filled-in blue, compatibility mode is on and the Zone is broken. When it’s a hollow outline, compatibility mode is off and the Zone works fine. When it’s blue, click it.

Makes perfect sense to me.

The Zone is still zoned as seen through IE, which is full updated, as far as I know. Internal pages are also wacked. Using Chrome right now. Screen cap from the dashboard last night: <img src="http://habitablezone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Image3-hz-weird-2012-b.jpg" alt="" /> Robert, good to see you, have you ever seen this before?

Sounds like one of those weird transients. If the condition persists, please let me know.
