BOLD not working

Question
-
Hi guys,
I noticed that the BOLD font style has been not working for months in some forums.
Such as the following category:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/officeitpro
More specific, the threads below should have BOLD font style, but it just didn't show. If you click Edit to edit the post, then it will be BOLD in the editor.

Would you help to fix it?
Thanks!

No bold there with IE 9, Firefox or Opera. Bold visible with IE 9 compatability view.
Though if you change to compatability view, you get scrollbars overlapping code snippets.

UPDATE: I resubmitted this as a bug request just in case they thought they fixed it.
Like when we went through the issue/thread Naomi mentioned, I went to that forum you linked to and tried to repro. I see bold there fine. So it's only an issue with some users where you don't see bold but I do. Strange.
Thanks!

I see UPDATE in bold in Ed's message. I am using Google Chrome.

My blogThanks Naomi, yes, I can also see the BOLD font in this post, or the other posts in this forum category, but in some other categories, the BOLD font isn't working.
And, actually, in such category, Google Chrome also doesn't work:

Thanks a lot sipla, I haven't thought of Compatibility View. It works!
But I couldn't consider this issue as solved, because I don't want to click the Compatibility View button (to check if there would be BOLD fonts) for each page I open.
Using IE 9 or IE 10, I changed the Browser Mode to IE 8, it didn't work. But if I changed the Browser Mode to IE 7, it worked. Just as the Compatibility View.
It seems that the Font format only compatible with IE 7 or earlier.
