blog and site issues

first and foremost, i find myself unable to see the comments from blogs that i am subscribed to.  i still receive notifications of new comments, i just can't access them.

another annoying problem is the sidebar menu.  when i move the cursor over 'whats new', 'profile', etc, i get the dropdown menu, but when i move the cursor over to it, it disappears.  so i have no access to my profile, games, etc.

don't know if others are having these issues, but i'm hoping that these will get fixed soon.

i am using IE8.
