I use Internet Explorer 8, I like it as a browser, i'm not interested in peopel suggestign alternative browsers, however it has this bug, which I ahve seen a few things, and I was wondering if anyone had any information / fix for it.

While I am on neowin forums, it shows me the WAP / Mobile verison of the forums increadibly annoying.

I have cleared out all of my cache /cookies /temp files etc which hasnt helped.

My dads laptop has the same problem, when he is on ebay though, it show sthe mobile version.

No otehr sites give problems on either of our machines. Mine shows ebay fine and his shows neowin forums fine.

I change the skin by press ing "full version" but its back to mobile when I return.

The problem doesnt occur in chrome.

Here are the headers my browser is sending to the webserver tested on whatsmyuseragent.com :

HTTP_CONNECTION:Keep-Alive
HTTP_ACCEPT:application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg, application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING:gzip, deflate

Looks normal to me.
