Internet Explorer 9: Incompatible with D2L and Webadvisor
 
 
IE 9 recently was released to the public. Please note that it is not certified for either UI 4.1 or WA and can cause problems.  We do have a notice on WA that users should not use IE 9 with it. Using a different web browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Chrome will fix the issue. If using Internet Explorer, click on the view in "Compatibility Mode" located right of the address toolbar.
