Just an FYI. In order to post comments on the main GameSpot site (forums, images, articles, reviews, etc) using IE9 you need to turn on compatability view.

Problem is, when compatability view is turned on FUSE doesn't work so we often can't view people's profiles without being told we need to upgrade our browser.

Obviusly it's easy enough to work around but I thought I'd let you know. Could help resolve other people's issues and help you work towards a permanant fix.

So GS needs to program their pages with updates to be compatible with a newer browser. Now I know why the editor stopped working.

Fuse will now work, but we still need to fix the GameSpot editor issue.

Thanks for pointing this out. Turns out IE's compatibility mode uses the IE7 rendering engine by default, which Fuse doesn't support. I've reapplied a fix that was lost when we converted from the Fuse to GameSpot masthead, so Fuse should now display properly regardless of rendering mode. The comment issue on GameSpot is separate, so we'll look into that.
