...users visiting my website? Its just a short term solution I'm looking for until the site is recoded to display correctly in IE8, a lot of our users are not exactly computer literate so having such a link would be a lot easier than trying to explain why where and how etc!
 
I read up on the information and it looks like you can include a Meta Tag to force compatibility users to display in "Standards" (IE8) mode but not the other way around (which is what you need).

I would just show a graphic like this:

in a lightbox (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/). Then when they are in compatibility mode or in another browser, it is set to display:none in the css.
