I know Spartan is still a WIP, but thought I'd run it by the site devs.

Why? Its a WIP, and won't be released for months, and many changes to come, how does it matter that Neowin doesn't work properly now?  use a stable browser.

I guarantee it's more the fault of IPB 3.x than anything else. remember that neowin had to apply hacks just so it would support IE10 & 11 properly

 

hopefully this should all be rectified once IPB 4 gets released with the more up-to-date editor

I can confirm that quoting in IE12 is not possible for now.

 

I tried to look in the js code, but it's such a mess, it's not worth it.

 

IE12? I thought IE11 was the last ever version of IE and was being kept as an optional extra for compatibility reasons, and Spartan (not called IE12) was becoming the new default browser? Or maybe I heard that wrong, and nobody really knows for sure what is going to happen ;)

Yes I confirm that Microsoft is dropping the IE brand. I know because I was told by a friend who has a brother who has a cousin who has uncle that is working on the Spartan project. /s

There's no need for the sarcasm. What I said has basis in the statements Microsoft have made, that IE will not be in Windows 10 by default, and will be an optional extra you can choose to add. IE is being dropped as the default browser to be replaced by Spartan, this is confirmed fact, not conjecture. The version of said optional install of IE remaining as IE11 is based on reports from Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley. Not my friend's, brother's, cousin's uncle.

If anyone in my team ever said such a thing, they would be dragged into an office for a complete tirade about their idiocy!

Main page is pretty much the only thing we're going to kinda support when it comes to Spartan till we upgrade the forums (soonish). So any bugs you finding there on spartan?

 

Main page is fine, just forums (which you have mentioned / covered).
