I am using IE10 from Windows 8 RTM. I cannot press enter and go to next line. This does not work while creating or modifying a post. Anyone with this issue?

AFAIK it's a known issue here on neowin atm

I personally don't know if it's an IPB bug or just a neowin bug, if it's IPB related there's not much neowin can do till the next update

Yeah I get the thing where you can't press enter, just gotta turn off WYSIG mode (going back to plain text) then you can press enter so it might be a simple (temporary) fix for now at least.

It wasn't that way on RP or CP AFAIK.

Not just on IE10, happens in Chrome sometimes as well. Although pressing shift + enter works in Chrome whereas it doesn't in IE10

When you start typing here in the quick reply window, there's a little switch on the top left of the box. Click that to turn it off and you can always turn it back on without losing anything typed.

I wasn?t having this problem until a few weeks ago. You can temporarily resolve the issue by forcing IE into in a specific compatibility mode. For me the issue happens because the browser is defaulting to IE9 mode with IE10 standards.

1. Press F12 to enter Developer Mode.

2. Set Menu "Browser Mode" to "Internet Explorer 9"

3. Set Menu "Document Mode" to "Internet Explorer 9 standards"

Otherwise set both "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode" to "Internet Explorer 10" values, however the full editor will act a bit buggy when fully in IE10 render mode.

Long term, the issue can be resolved by neowin forcing IE10 into a specific render mode, or eventually Microsoft may add it to a compatibility mode update. (http://msdn.microsof...y/cc288325.aspx) Its also possible that the compatibility update for IE10 already exists, but only for RTM.

This bites. they only offer IE10 for windows 8? am i to understand that Win8 won't allow for other browsers? Sorry I'm not up on the latest but is this true?

If you're joking: LOL :D

If you're serious: erm, no, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Rockmelt, IE, and every other browser that worked in Win 7 is still supported in Win 8 :D

No. IE10 will be released for Windows 7, and other browsers won't be allowed to access low level system API's in the RT version of Windows, they will only be allowed into the Windows 8 store if they run as fully RT code which means IE will have a significant advantage on the ARM version of Windows 8.

windows 8 can still run any browser. only on ARM machines will you be restricted to IE (unless MS eventually decides to allow other browsers in the market)

I appreciate that. If it works good and I like it, I'll definitely use it as my primary browser. I'm just surprised they haven't released a "public release" aside from Win8 public preview. but thank you

how much you wanna bet there will be a "Jailbreak" of sorts for Windows RT? :p

i personally wouldn't be surprised in the least

What has that got to do with this topic?

Anyway, cheers to whoever suggested the dev mode trick. I am forcing IE10 to run in IE9 mode and enter button now works to go to next line.

interesting.. I never knew that existed. did you have to add a /devmode to the command line or is that in the settings?

My guess is that IE10 will be released for 7 at the same time that Windows 8 reaches general release. The improvements aren't as big as from IE8 to IE9 so I wouldn't call it a must have but in UI terms not much has changed so there won't be much for you to adapt to, just a few under the hood improvements mainly :)

Oh I have no doubt people will try it, but unfortunately that will be of no value if the major browser vendors cease development on their browsers because of the restrictiveness of all of this.

Personally I have a feeling the antitrust folks may yet have something to say about it but yeah I'm sure people will try to hack them.

As I recall at one time it had to be enabled, but that was a very long time ago now I think. On at least IE9 and IE10 you just hit F12 or look under the Tools menu.

This is also what to use if you want to alter IE's user agent strings on the fly under the Developer Mode Tools menu.

I doubt they'll cease development, they'll probably even release versions to the market eventually, and it's when that happens that a "Jailbreak" of sorts will come in handy.

i expect a tweak to eventually release similar to this tweak that just released recently for iOS http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/07/nitrous-enables-faster-nitro-javascript-engine-for-third-party-apps.html

I have a feeling that they will release neutered versions that comply with the RT guidelines just to get in the store. Which would mean there would be little advantage to a jailbreak. Of course that wouldn't stop developers trying to port the code themselves so you still have a good point

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
