IE11 Issues with Neowin


Recommended Posts

After updating to Windows 8.1 and with the new IE11, I am having issues with Neowin. When I upload a photo, it has 6 files skip notices with nonsense symbols. I try uploading a second time and it works, but I am unable to add the photo to my post.  I try to used the Special BB Code youtube feature, and it fails to add to the post also. Is anyone else having issues with Neowin using Internet Explorer 11?

 

Here is a screenshot of the file skip issue

There's no compatibility mode when I am using IE11 on Neowin (which is strange).  I now use Chrome when I am posting on Neowin in Windows 8.1 Pro.

Well why did they do that. So glad I use FireFox.

probably to start forcing web devs to update their freakin old code to meet standards

 

at least that's the only reason i can think of

The IE11 issues have been worked on, there's no need to use compatibility mode for posting and quoting at least.

 

CKEditor is known for not supporting certain filenames in any browser, I would like to know the original name of the file you tried to add (including extension, jpg, png, gif?)

 

Another thing to try is to ctrl+f5 or empty the browser cache.

I am continuing to have problems with IE11 on Neowin. Copy and paste does not work when posting a thread :argh:.  I tried compatibility view with Neowin but to no success. I am having this issue on two computers. I hate Microsoft for causing these problems.

I am on IE 11 and posting is difficult (the text box won't select an accept anything until after a few tries). I have also noticed popups like the add an image to the post button and on the main site if I want to change the theme, but click cancel the box doesn't go away. I must refresh.

the rest aside. the theme box on the front page, the cancel and x buttons don't work on any browser. if you want to cancel just click somewhere outside of the box and it will disappear

Yep, I get this too but only when I'm not logged in. Odd.

Just tried that and chrome any you are right. As for adding a picture, the cancel button works, just not on IE 11.

 

BTW I was logged in on both IE 11 and Chrome.

Hello,

Glad this thread has been cleaned up and reopen.

Steven, is Neowin now officially supported on IE11 on Windows 7? Ill upgrade as soon as it is supported :)

Officially, no. IPB themselves don't support it. Neowin has however made it possible to post, quote and multiquote using IE11 (something that does not work at all on 3.4.5 officially).

 

Things that do not work still (as far as I know) is being able to copy & paste into the editor.

 

To clarify IPB does not support IE11, but Neowin has modified it so that it works for about 80% (the remaining 20% being not able to paste in the editor using IE11).

OK, thank you for clearing that up :)
