I am trying to use IBM's software service request to look at my tickets
and it's really gone bizarre. I've tried both IE8 and FF8 and it looks
bizarre in both. Anyone else having this experience this morning?

Postscript:
I now have it figured out. IBM added some things to their website which
offend WebSense. I thought it was odd that the status bar was displaying
some references to some non IBM sites. Perhaps they put something on
there from an independent company to track hits. Or those new 'community'
links (facebook, etc) changed how they do things. Basically it was
blocking all graphics and really looked ugly. When I looked at those
websites from a PC in the machine room (WebSense exempt) it worked fine.
Equipment in the computer room is in a range of IP addresses exempt from
WebSense.

The good news is that my laptop is now added to the list of computers
which are now exempt from WebSense! WebSense would block most ads from
weather.com, and ad tracking software from some of the midrange computing
type magazines (thus blocking all their ads). Those magazines were more
interested in tracking their ads than people ever really seeing them.
It was probably something along this vein causing havoc with the IBM
support website.

WebSense also blocked me from Facebook at work.
