No posting after Windows 8.1 / IE 11

I can't write a post or comment after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I can now reply to posts but I have no Smiley or like option? Think I better stick with Chrome

@Justin Swan

There is a temporary solution.
In the desktop browser go to RD forum and push F12, a tool bar shows at the bottom and you can choose IE10 modus.
I didn't find a way to save this, so I only use it when I need it.

Hi guys, I have just discovered I have the same issue with IE, difference is I'm running W7 Ultimate 64bit, I upgraded to IE 11 on the 20th which is when the issue started , so I think it's a IE11 issue and nothing to do with W8/8.1.

Back to Firefox for me

Cheers

I've got it working as in replying but I can't use smiley's or BB code unless I enter them manually.

Its getting old I know but stop using Internet Explorer as your default browser. Chrome and Firefox are a lot faster, have less issues and makes your browsing life a lot easier when you are used to them.

"I hear ya Bram" only this morning I had Fanaleds update to v2.1 and IE gave me some BS about the file being unrecognisable, wouldn't let me save the file without going through a number of security options, which you can switch off either, bloody Microsoft

Are you also on the latest version of IE @Andrew Scott?

How about on our frontpage, can you guys comment there without problems? If so, ill have to see if upgrading to the latest version of xenforo might solve it (has to be done soon anyway).

Let me know please

 

[Peter]

I can post on the front page using IE11, but I use RD with compatibility mode.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Upgrade it is then, bye bye weekend lol

Yes Bram I was using IE11 at the time, I was in the same boat as Peter Koch, but no more as I have returned to Firefox

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

unfortunately still a large part of our visitors are keeping IE as their standard browsers. Luckily over the years the percentage has declined dramatically but still a significant amount of people keep using it.

Will have to update anyway so this is a good push in the right direction

 

[Peter]

It's ok for me how it is now. Most of the time I use my tablet, so Chrome or Firefox is no option for me.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

Well I want to use IE. I don't see any difference it speed and also none of the Firefox nor Chrome have aero. I don't see a reason why you force me to use other browser. The last version was ok with IE why this one isn't?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Where do I force you to use another browser? Feel free to keep using IE but then you will run into a non-posting bug on the forums until we have applied a software update.

Why such things only happen to IE is a good question for Microsoft

 

[Peter]

Thx RD, with the new update everything works how it should

Finally, @Peter Koch has a voice again now
