IE8 Life Saver Tip

If you usually access say SharePoint (or any other site) with several users at the same time, for testing, admin, regular user, etc., you may found that IE8 doesnt allow you since every Window will share only one credential. With IE7 everything worked fine, it seems its a new 'feature'.

Well, the solution is pretty simple, File -> New Session, or else you can add "-nomerge" in your local IE shortcut.

Another thing i didnt understand was i didnt had compability view enabled in IE8 and i didnt understand why, here are the reasons:

Sometimes the Compatibility View button isn’t displayed. The button is located on the address bar next to the ‘stop’ and ‘refresh’ buttons. There are a few cases where there’s no action for a user take and, thus, the Compatibility View button will not show:

• If you're viewing an internal-to-Internet Explorer page (such as about:InPrivate)
• If you're viewing a page that has declared it's "ready" for Internet Explorer 8 through use of the versioning tag / HTTP header (it doesn’t matter if this tag triggers Quirks, IE7 Standards, or IE8 Standards, the button won’t be displayed)
• If you're viewing an intranet page and you have the ‘Display intranet sites in Compatibility View’ checkbox selected
• If you're viewing any webpage and you have the ‘Display all websites in Compatibility View’ checkbox selected
• If you're viewing a webpage that is included on the Microsoft-supplied compatibility view updates list and you have the ‘Include updated website lists from Microsoft’ checkbox selected
• If you've toggled either the ‘Document Mode’ or ‘Browser Mode’ settings via the Developer Toolbar
