Here are some instructions from ROGMN, which solved my problem with not being able to rec, tip, participate in polls, etc. since July 24. I received lots of advice, mostly regarding Compatibility View Settings, which I tried both ways. But these intructions gave steps regarding checking the three boxes at the bottom.
I posted this to the Help Desk, but Elfling says it didn't work in their versions of IE8. It did work for my version of IE7, and I am very grateful.
In IE8 * under "Tools" go to "Compatibility View Settings"
Remove daily kos from "Compatibilty View"
Regarding the three check boxes at the bottom of the "Compatibility View Settings" dialog box:
Check the box "Included updated websites from Miicrosoft"
Check the box "Display Intranet sites in Compatibility View"
Please step beyond the orange croissant for a tiny bit more.
DO NOT Check the box "Display all websites in Compatibilty View"
Caveat: This worked for me after a month of frustration.
A DK administrator really ought to write a Diary on this; I have never checked this "help" section and did so just before giving up on the site.
