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.

    >disappointed Adobe is handling

    Well, that would actually be how JIVE is handling, not Adobe

    That was for the login problems only, and it seems that it has not really fixed anything.  As expected...


    Just posting this from a brand new, fresh Windows 8.1 installation.

    This is a full, fresh installation into an empty partition.

    I am using IE11, started upon the FIRST visit to the desktop on this system.  It popped up a dialog that asked whether I wanted to make recommended or custom preference settings.  I chose recommended.

    • Here's some "quoted" text.

    • In the process of bolding this word and bulleting these sentences I did NOT get a pop up message that I was leaving this page.  

    I am now embarking on a process to try to determine why it is that these things are happening on my fully-configured Windows 8 system.  I suspect it may have to do with sites I normally block or security settings I normally increase.  I will make these changes one at a time and see what happens...
