IE10 on Win7 - Please would someone piss about with the forum software?

[WandrinAndy]

Hi Lee, I have just started using IE10 on Windows 7 and have a problem on this forum. The problem is that I cannot press Enter to insert line breaks and help make my messages more readable. Which means that any posts that users of IE10 may type, will become walls of waffling text!!!!!! Is there summat that we need to do differently? Thanks, Andy

Found a temporary workaround on t'interweb .....

"When you post a Reply or a Reply With Quote you will notice in the upper left toolbar a box with the letters a/A where the smaller a is capitalized but a different font size. Click on that box once and then you will find that the Enter Key will work."

What normally happens when you press the enter key?

At a guess It will be submitting the reply form, in which case some javascript to move the focus may fix it. That will be for the forum gaffer tho!

Think I saw somewhere that the web says it generates a CRLF or a WYSIWYG, but to me it just skips to the next line in my reply, which I where I want the cursor to be.

O cmon you didnt really think i'd leave you hanging like that did you?

A quick fix for this has been to change the type of editor the forum use's for messages, it was set to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing", if your reading this and dont know what "WYSIWYG" stands for, its "What you see is what you get" so when your making a post if you insert an image, the image is loaded into the editor and what you see is what you get.

I find this a pain anyway so it suits me that this has gone.

The defualts for the forum are in the screen shot below:
