As the description says, the Enter key doesn't do anything when I'm posting a reply in a thread. Yes, it works in Notepad and such. Just started happening after I upgraded to IE 10 yesterday
 
Testing (with IE10)

Enter key
creates
new lines
just
fine
 
Specific to vBulletin 4.2.0 (Forum application used by gtamotorcycle.com)

"3) On Windows8 computers, the editor boxes do not accept <enter> key, in other words, you cannot make a newline from Windows8 (IE10) by pressing <enter>. This seems to be in the enhanced editor only. The Standard editor works as expected."

There was a bug opened for this with vBulletin in October last year. It contains further details of investigating and identifying the problem.

In summary:
- This is not an IE 10 error
- This is a problem with older versions of the CKEditor (the default vBulletin 4 post editor)
- It can be fixed when vBulletin releases a version of vBulletin 4 that updates the CKEditor version

The problem is listed here in the vbulletin bug tracker, but it can only be viewed by logged in members:

Ah, that would explain it (I use Windows 7, not 8)

Did you try using compatibility mode?
Click to expand...

I looked at that, but the compatibility mode icon isn't showing in my address bar. It appears on some websites but not others. So I'm either in compatibility mode already, or it doesn't apply?
 
I don't know if it's the same thing, but I'm on Firefox and all of my posts are converted to a brick of text with no line breaks. Tried all three settings at the bottom of the posting screen for linebreaks. Doesn't happen on any other forums. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
