    I have upgraded to IE 10 yesterday and found that the message editor is not working probably. The "Enter key" no longer works and I there is no way I can write message in different lines and paragraphs. Is there any way to bypass the problem?

    Just click first icon - 'Switch Editor to Source Mode' - to get your "Enter key" back. WYSWIG is always plain evil. :)

    Are you kidding me, The reason I don't use I.E on Windows is because its bulky, it has to many issues and I see a noticeable speed increase with chrome. Now with this info taken with in a 4 years time I feel my statement is just. But, yah I'd rather smack myself with my spine than use a terrible problematic browser like I.E.

    Not to mention Chrome sync, which is an infinitely useful and helpful feature.


    1 reason never to use I.E- Bing. Bing is a life-sucking thing that M$ is keeping alive for no reason what-so-ever. Nobody honestly likes it!

    Sure you can switch it, but it being there as an option is bad enough.

    IE is fine. To each their own. I used 6 until it was finally discontinued. Then I used 7, and now Chrome.

    I might check out 10 just to poke around.

    Chrome, Firefox, and opera stick to strict W3C html standards, Chrome being the most strict. Chrome also supports more HTML 5 code than any other browser. You find that many people will have to add logic on their server side web applications to see if the user is using IE and run specified IE code because it does not follow the html standards.

    Here's a good example. When you're programming for IE in visual studio 2012, visual studio will highlight all of the IE specific code and tell you it's wrong, because IE is so fucked up that even Microsoft's own development software doesn't support it.

    Whats this??? There's An I.E. 10???? I'm still using I.E. 5!

    Oh... Wait... No I'm not. I'm using Firefox 19.0.2.

    Each to their own, maybe the7thchild is using a work computer or something that's restricted to Internet explorer. i had to do that while working for a bank, it was horrible i felt so dirty after.

    Bing is for porn.

    Turn off safe search, then go do some searches in the video search.

    As an actual web developer: I'm going to respectfully disagree.

    I haven't had a chance to look at IE 10 yet, mostly because i don't use it, but IE 8 and 9 couldn't do a lot of newer CSS3 functions such as transparency. you had to come up with some IE specific code to do it and I find that just messy. Back when i used IE for all of my testing, i couldn't even tell you how many times I've had customers call me saying "this doesn't work on your site, or i can't click this button" every time they were using chrome, Firefox safari, etc... I just started using chrome for all of my testing and then do a final test in IE to add in a bunch of IE specific code. Rather than having to fix a bunch of IE code where parts of it work in chrome, other parts work in firefox, etc. It becomes a huge mess.

    More windows users use chrome because it is simply faster than IE and I'm going to code for what most people are using because it saves me a bunch of headaches later on. Whether one is technically better than the other doesn't really matter, it's what the your users are using the matters.

    I don't see much of a point in arguing anymore, we disagree we should leave it at that. We develop for different clients. I work for a title agency and spend most of my time writing ASP.net web applications, i take it that you most likely build website for multiple clients and probably don't use ASP.net.

    ASP.net only officially supports one doctype when writing html, while you can use others and it may accomplish what you need it too, it's not the official MS way of doing it and i don't like seeing errors when i'm compiling. ASP.net also had issues with firefox where firefox would handle post data differently than ASP.net was expecting, resulting in upload buttons being hit or miss. I also use Ruby when i'm not using a windows platform, but i haven't had any major issues with it yet. All i can tell you is that i have had more issues using IE as a target than using any other browser.

    IE is horrible but this wasn't meant to turn into an IE vs Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Safari.

    However, IE doesn't conform to certain "standards" and is probably the issue here, not the site, but obviously IE users are important and can't be excluded.

    Let Assembler deal with this, we can have an IE war in off-topic.

    Assembler, add this to the headerinclude for each theme on the site:

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">

    It will force IE10 to render the site in the IE9 engine, the WYSIWYG issue is a known bug with vBulletin and IE10.
