I found that when I switched to a new proxy Khan Academy wasn't working on most of the computers in my school any more. I don't know why not all since we all use the same one, but anyway, after looking around for ages I finally found a solution. So, this isn't a question, I just want someone to be able to find the answer faster than me.

I tried - https://sites.google.com/a/khanacademy.org/forge/technical/how-to-disable-internet-explorer-compatibility-view and that didn't help me at all. It wasn't listed, and it didn't say it was using compatibility mode. I assumed it was some sort of JS error or something. It wasn't.

For me the trouble was that for some reason the proxy made IE think that KhanAcademy think it was an intranet site. (or I did that some how) So, IE 9 was by default displaying it in compatibility mode as a result. I fixed that on my local machine in Internet Explorer by pressing Alternate to show the menus. Clicking Tools, compatibility view settings, and unchecking "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View"

But I wanted a GPO. - You need to choose DISABLE for this. I thought it would be enable from what the help text said at first. But after reading it a few more times, and testing it, it is DISABLE.

Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Compatibility View/Turn on Internet Explorer Standards Mode for Local Intranet

is what I read online, but for me with Server 2008-R2 it was

  • Hey, I work at Khan Academy -- thanks for posting this answer! No idea why IE would think that KA is part of your intranet though. – Sophie Alpert Nov 05 '13 at 00:01
