Problems with posting using IE 11 on Windows RT 8.1.

Posting from my SURFACE is now impossible. I can get as far as getting the insert cursor active in the comments window.

The moment I tried to type, the touch keypad start jumping up and down and is generally impossible to use.

If this were true on other sites I would blame IE 11 but I can easily post on HBO and HALOWAYPOINT.

Additional, if I disable rich text, I can type normally. It's a workaround for now but maybe it will give you a clue. Co-incidentally the W8 auto spell checker and word suggestion kicks in this mode.

Most of the fixes for V3 have been pushed into V4 since my energy is now going into that full time when I have spare brain power.  The mobile initiative should fix this issue however since I'll be looking at better ways to allow rich text on a mobile or tablet format.

Ok. I'll make do but I'm concerned about the potential members the site can't gain if they come in through IE 11 8.1. They'll just think, "site doesn't work" then move on. I've only confirmed the problem for RT on the SURFACE. I will soon be able test IE 11 and 8.1 on my laptop.

No no. It's fine. Love it. I agree

I can confirm there are problems entering text from IE 11 and Win 8.1. Slightly different problem from above. Character input from keyboard is unreliable, as if the cursor is busy.

On the bright side, I think the Windows spell checker works when Rich Text is disabled. Weird huh?
