Cannot hide facebook game requests in IE8

Im going to warn everyone please dont tell me to download chrome or firefox. I like using slimbrowser that piggybacks off of IE8's settings.

That being said, Since a recent facebook update it seems, i am unable to actually click on the "x" in the game requests area of facebook. "accept" works just fine, but ignoring the requests doesnt work. (yes, i have tried, these things do work in chrome and firefox, so its some sort of setting i need to enable or disable maybe.)

Any reason why?

I used to alternate between facebook accounts in the one Slimbrowser. But then i figured, ill keep one logged in with slimbrowser (my main one), and one logged in with chrome so i dont have to keep logging out and back in over and over. I like the look best of slimbrowser so thats why its on my main account.

This system has worked until this recent whatever happened that doesnt allow the ignoring of requests anymore in IE8.

To check and make sure it wasnt purely slimbrowser, i opened up the real IE8 and the same thing, doesnt work.

 

It is not your problem. Lots of people are having the problem. I for one (and also the wife) am with 3 different PC's and so are quite a few of my friends. They are famous for trying to fix or upgrade something and screwing something else up for days or weeks.
