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

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

      EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
