If you don't know how to use Windows and IE, may be you shouldn't
Alright, I'm probably going to sound like a jerk, but I can't help ranting when I feel somebody keeps wasting my time.
Here's my vanilla installation of Windows 7 Professional, right out the box.

Works perfectly, huh?
And here is how it looks after checking off the 'Compatibility Mode'.

So my question is why would you use compatibility mode? The tooltip from Microsoft says that it would improve websites designed for old browsers.

Honestly, I don't care if you chose to view a modern website with a 10 year old technology. Regressing a modern browser to behave as something ancient is your choice and I don't have the time, or the desire to deal with such nonsense unless you are willing to compensate me appropriately (the balpark is dozens of custom razors).
And, yes I can very easily disable the 'Thanks', put a limit on how many letters can be used for 'location', or disable it altogether, or use different layout where the avatar is positioned in it's separate band above the post body, which would make you scroll 40% more...
