IE9 Title and Headers 1 and 2 Disappearing (just one namespace)

Whiloe using IE9, Artile Titles and Headers 1 & 2 Disappear

This is sort of hard to explain.

Basically the article titles and headers 1 and 2 display for a fraction of a second and then disappear. Sometimes you can select a chunk of the article and they come back, but sometimes that doesn't work.

I have viewed my site with the default theme and it still does it.

I have two namespaces. This does only happens on our Default namespace and does not happen in our second namespace. Unfortunately our namespace with this bug isn't publicly visible. If you need me to create a log-in for you, please let me know.

Any thoughts?

I should note that I upgraded to 3.0.11 and this is still an issue. I will try and grab a screenshot!

Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing, using the default vBulletin 3.8 theme:

Hi,

I don't think this is a bug, but a problem with your Internet Explorer 9 settings. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Developer Tools. Make sure that Browser Mode and Document Mode are set as the same version.

Browser Mode tells the web page what version of Internet Explorer is parsing it. If this says Internet Explorer 9, any CSS (or other code) for lower (buggy) versions of Internet Explorer won't be used.

Document Mode, however, tells Internet Explorer how it should treat the web page. If it treats it as designed for a lower version of Internet Explorer, but doesn't treat itself as that same version, strange things happen.

If you never saw this console before and Internet Explorer is actually shipping with mismatched settings, then this is a bug that needs to be reported to Microsoft. When the settings are mismatched, there is no way to detect it, so there is no way to take it into consideration when coding (although developers shouldn't even have to).

Thanks so much, that does seem to be the problem. It looks like it did ship with those settings. Looks like we need to change that setting each time we visit a page, so we'll look into trying to make that setting permanent.

Thanks again! I hope that others might run across this and find the "fix".

It seems, though, that your site keeps automatically switching to this bad mode because of some problem on the page. According to some discussions I've read on this, it might be possible to force the mode Internet Explorer runs your site in.

Set vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Cookie and HTTP Header Options > Disable IE8 Compatibility Mode = Yes.
