Some of my readers who use Internet Explorer have told me recently that my blog (http://www.themangolassie.com)doesn't fully display when they use that browser. It works perfectly with Safari, Firefox and Chrome. This just started happening for them, so I thought it might be related to WordPress 3.0.
I have already checked my source code for <!--[if gte mso 9]>, which others have said shows up when pasting from Word and prevents the site from displaying in IE. Does anyone have any other suggestions for solving this problem? Thanks.

I can see it just fine on IE8.
As far as I remember that tag has nothing to do with internet explorer but the fact that at some point the files have been edited in Microsoft office and uploaded that way.
I might be wrong, but can you tell me how they are editing their files?

The blog is definitely not showing up in IE 7. Is it possible that WordPress 3.0 is incompatible with IE7? I always edit directly in WordPress.

=\ could be a plugin issue, guess it is a little more come, if i had ie7 i would disable my plugins one by one and see if it helps the situation any but i dont and i dont get to many visitors using ie7 so im just like whatever, but if you have ie7 i would start there

Did you get anywhere with this issue? I just put a new template on my site which I LOVE. It has a Java photo slider at the top, it will not display in IE, looks beautiful in other browsers.
I'm going to try the one by one checking the plugins suggestion and see if that matters. Would love to hear other suggestions. No word yet from the theme creator. I'm not a developer/coder, just found a free theme I like and here I am so remedies will have to be aimed at Kindergarten level of understanding :-)
Would appreciate any help/guidance.

i just fixed this - had the same problem.
you need to open the file
jquery.nivo.css
it's in the public_html/wp-content/themes/potassiumific/css folder
at the top of the page you'll see the code:
#slideshow img {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
display:none;
}
you just need to change display:none to display:block and it should fix it.
you'll need to access the file using FTP as it is not editable via the WP admin area.
Hope this helps!!
