Is there a fix for IE8 to allow Spica to work properly without clicking into Compatibility mode? I know IE8 is crap and nothing works out of compatibility mode, but I would prefer to fix it.

It’s annoying – I agree. The only way to fix it for the most part is cold hard hacking into code… I don’t have IE8 on this PC, will have a tinker hopefully later on.
It’s usually easier to use the IE8 Compatibility mod though and identifying as IE7!

Here is the usual IE8 answer
go to your index php file and find the following
<!–>
<style type=”text/css”>
.clearfix {display: inline-block;}
</style>
<!–>
and change to:
<!–>
<style type=”text/css”>
.clearfix {display: block;}
</style>
<!–>
OR
It is a compatibility issue
You need to paste code into the first line of the <head> of your index.php file
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=7″ />

Thanks mfcphil. Your first edit sorted the issue 🙂
BTW, kids use far worth versions of the word that I used (which I deliberately toned down). ARE there kids with personal or developer licenses, as this is a restricted part of the forum…? 😉
