Some Users of Cafepress are having problems viewing their sales reports and getting buttons to work. If you are using IE8 then it is possible that it is the browser that is causing this problem. If you are using IE8 the following solution should correct the issues that you are having. If it doesn't fix the problem, file a bug report, you'll find the link in my signature below.

IE8 has a compatibility button that you click on, it is next to the refresh button. You can also find it under the page menu next to the printer icon. It is not just a cafepress issue, many websites won't run in IE8. That is the reason Microsoft- the creators of IE8- have added the compatible view option to their browser.

SYMPTOMS: Some Web sites may not be displayed correctly or work correctly in Windows Internet Explorer 8. This problem does not occur in earlier versions of Internet Explorer, and the affected Web sites continue to be displayed correctly and to work correctly in Windows Internet Explorer 7.

For example, you may experience any of the following symptoms in Internet Explorer 8:
Menus, images, or text are in the wrong positions on some Web sites.
Some Web site features do not work.
You receive script error messages on some Web sites.
Internet Explorer stops working or crashes on some Web sites.

CAUSE: Some Web sites are designed for older browsers. You may experience compatibility issues on these sites until they are updated for Internet Explorer 8.

WORKAROUND: Internet Explorer 8 includes a Compatibility View feature that displays Web sites that were created for older browsers as they were designed to appear. You can enable Compatibility View in Internet Explorer or on the Web server.
Enable Compatibility View for a single computer. To do this, try Method 1 for each Web site that is not displayed correctly or that does not work correctly. If this problem occurs on many Web sites that you frequently visit, you can enable Compatibility View for all Web sites by using Method 2. These methods are intended for users who are running Internet Explorer.
Enable Compatibility View in Internet Explorer for multiple computers in an enterprise environment. To do this, use Method 3. This method is intended for enterprise network administrators.
