Posting From IE11 in Windows 8.1

I've put up a couple of test systems on the Windows 8.1 Preview, both Pro and Enterprise editions.

Just testing to see how the forum interacts with Internet Explorer 11.  So far so good - I have been able to log in and see things looking pretty much right.

Something I'm curious about is whether "quoted" strings are handled properly, because we have seen the double quote character changed to what looks like an HTML escape sequence by the forum software when IE10 under Windows 8 is used to access the forum.

So here goes.

"Quoted text"

If the above comes out with double-quote characters at the ends, that will be happy news.

Also, in typing this, I noticed that the forum software thinks I'm leaving the page every time I press a control - e.g., the Bold, "Insert Image", or font size controls, and puts this up:

    Apparently double quote characters are still misinterpreted.

    Looks like the forums need some work to be compatible with the newer versions of Windows.  I'm kind of surprised and disappointed Adobe is handling Windows 8 so badly.  It may not be that popular with people, but it *is* the currently shipping version and Microsoft doesn't seem to be veering from their course.

    Some additional observations:

    1.  (Serious) the Back button does not function with the forum site.  Notably the title bar says Blank Page - Internet Explorer.

    2.  The [ Use Recovered ] button is non-functional.  In other words, if you hit Reply, type a message, leave the page, then come back and hit Reply again, the message "A recovered version of this content exists..." appears but you can't actually get the recovered content back.

    3.  Resizing the browser window doesn't result in scroll bars appearing as they should.
