Fix vBGallery and vBulletin for IE9 beta
 

Some of you probably allready found it, some probably dont even know there is a problem.
For the moment there are compatibility problems with vbulletin 4 and IE9 beta
Header, sidebar and some placement problems. It doesnt look very nice. The problem is, if vbulletin doesnt look nice, vbgallery doesnt look nice either :eek:

As of vbulletin version 4.07 (maybe also in version prior to 4.07 I only know in 4.02 its not there) there is a built in fix, that was made for something else, but that works.

Goto ACP => Options
and go to section: Cookies and HTTP Header Options
there at the bottom, you have setting:
Disable IE8 Compatibility Mode
Set this to Yes

Now vbulletin and vbgallery will look nice again in IE9 beta!

-------------

What it does, it adds a header telling IE8 not to use compatibility mode.
But it is in fact the same header that tells IE9 to act like IE8!!!
So if it works in IE8, it will also work in IE9

--------------

Question: I have an older version of vbulletin, that does not have this option, and for some reason I cannot (do not want) to upgrade.

Answer: Open includes/funtions.php and find function:
at the end of the function, before closing bracket }
add:
Thats all

PS: This is only usefull as long as IE9 is beta.. vbulletin is bound to update css and code once IE9 is final.

Hmm... now we will have to deal with ie9 problems ^^'

thanks for the info
