[*] List Item Doesn't Work
I tried to use the editor's [*] bullet feature but it doesn't work. It only adds the open tag and not the close tag. It also sometimes puts the tag at the beginning of the selected text or at the end. I noticed that the [*] does NOT automatically add the

Re: [*] List Item Doesn't Work
I'm actually talking about the editor's button. It doesn't work consistently while the others I mention do. I'm not talking about the actual BBCode as it works fine as you said. I think it's a browser issue with IE 10 since I'm under Windows 8.

Would it be alright to point to this forum as an example of the issue?7im wrote:Post in the "problems with IE 10 Browser" thread on the MS forum, and let us know if you get an answer.
Re: [*] List Item Doesn't Work
Microsoft is welcome to look at our forum.
As far as I know, however, when you're posting in a forum that uses phpBB, it's the phpBB software that interprets [*] as the editors bullet symbol, not Microsoft.

Re: [*] List Item Doesn't Work
Is the phpBB software capable of setting meta tags? Any chance you can try adding the following meta tag to help IE 10 users with better compatibility mode for this site? I think this would help make the advanced editor features work better with IE10.
When I was using IE9 under Windows 7, I didn't have any issues. Also, if the tag is not specified, IE10 uses IE7 standards in Compatibility Mode.
Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8"/>

The best source for detailed information about the latest version of phpBB is https://www.phpbb.com/. We just use the software. We're currently running PHP Version 5.2.9 with a couple of minor modifications.
