    [Any Version] Emulate IE7 on IE8

    As Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is public beta, using the standard mode breaks the layout and functionnalities of vBulletin.

    To avoid this and to force your users to use the "Emulate IE7" button without to click on it, you can do this:

    In the 'headinclude' template, at the top, add this:
    HTML Code:
    <if condition="is_browser('ie', '8')"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /></if>
    And save

    You can have more information in this page at the "Versioning and Cross-document Interaction" section.

    Edit: As Floris said in his post, vBulletin includes an option since 3.7 Release Candidate 1 for doing that

    Note in vBulletin 3.7.0 or higher there's an option for this in the global vb options.
