Question

Win7 64bit and Internet Explorer 10

I just upgraded to IE10 and I am having intermittent problems posting to forums

Since the forums are also being changed, I'm not sure if I should point the finger at IE10 or the forums

Another data point... pressing the Enter key sometimes does not work, I need to press shift+Enter for a new line

And, I will be typing on a new line and the cursor will jump back to the previous line... which I **think** I remember was a past problem with forum code

Also, randomly, when I click to post what I have written, a pop-up box asks if I want to leave the page... and then the post key does NOT work

ADDED

Seems the problem was IE10 - which I have put in "compatibility mode" for the forums, and all now works as it should

Sigh... there are days that I just really hate software updates!

    I've used IE10 for quite a while on Windows 7 x64, and haven't had the kinds of problems I'm seeing this evening.

    One problem I had initially was with "double quote" characters, and I was able to clear it up by going through the IE10 [Reset...] button in the Advanced settings tab.  Then, of course, I had to reconfigure everything I prefer to be non-default.

    By the way, type a space, then hit the left arrow.  Enter seems to work if you "push" a character in front of the cursor.

    Yes, there are workarounds for some of the problems. I did not find one for failure of image insertion, however.

    Anyway,. I just set Adobe to "compatibility mode" and no problems. Except it is kind of a shame that their functionality is not up to speed.

    Having the same problem, but I am still IE9. Yes, Shift-Enter works.

    And compatibiity mode works also.

    I don't think anything on this laptop has changed since this was working correctly last night.

    Edit: after compatibility mode, it does not prompt for "leaving" the page.

    Hmm... since you are still on IE9 and my problems began after updating to IE10, I have to wonder if there were ALSO some changes to the forum "script"

    Oh well... one step forward in one area, and 3/4 of a step backwards in another area
