[Portfolio] IE8 and 2.6 Portofolios tool

[Christian Aziz]

At first glance, the compatibility view option seemed to have done the trick. One of the issues evident on the main screen of the portfolio share tool-- where the 'Owner' column and the 'Actions' drop-down lists were being smushed together-- was fixed by viewing in compatibility mode; unfortunately the other issues still persist. I'll be creating tickets for these items in JIRA and, in the meantime, will get our users onto a more stable browser. Thanks all!
