Why am I unable to view the comments section or use the contact forms at NPR.org when I use Internet Explorer?

If you are using Internet Explorer and you are unable to view the discussion threads at NPR.org, or if you are having trouble with the NPR contact form, then you most likely are encountering the problem because you are running your browser in compatibility view mode.

When you run your browser in compatibility view mode, it performs as though you are using Internet Explorer 7. Please turn off your browser's compatibility view mode. If you are not certain how to do that, you can find instructions here:
