Problems with forum software and IE10

Yesterday I updated from IE9 to IE10 under windoze 7.
I could not enter a carriage return (the enter key) to get a new line or new paragraph. I have done this entry with Firefox which does not have this problem.
Since Windoze 8 comes with IE10 I presume this will become more of a problem as time goes by.

It seems they are feeling a bit weary of of MS, Apple, and Android. And while Linux works really well, there is no one to talk 'business' with.
Load Firefox, or Chrome. I personally have loaded both and still prefer Firefox. It seems that the little guys just work harder to respond to user's needs and expectations.
There are other browsers... quite a few.
So don't mindless accept IE as 'the one and only'.

Strangely enough I have notice the "double posting" problem come up on the Raspberry Pi forum in the last week or so. It was not me personally but sometimes you see double posts and people complaining.
I start to wonder if it's "the man" in the middle, intercepting, reading, checking for terrorists, all our posts and then passing them on again. Might account for why the posting takes so long, and ends up duplicated sometimes.
Yep its been happening to me for a while now.
I write the message in notepad and copy paste across.
It does not copy blank lines though! so everything is squeezed up together.
I have Chrome. Don't like it, I don't know why, maybe Google and all its tendrils irritate me. The search engine can sometimes have a page of adverts before the web-finds.
Isn't it odd that after e-ons of writing software a massive firm like MS can not have spotted stuff like this. In IE some podcasts take an age for the audio to start and no screen display - it used to start up media-player which was fine. Under Chrome I get a tiny progress slide that is so small I can only adjust it in 5 minute jumps!
Progress...

Let's try an example: My favourite food "Fish Fingers". Type that into Chrome's URL bar and what do we get?
Wikipedia article, the BBC and Telegraph on fish fingers, Jamie Oliver, some recipes...nope I can't find any advertising on the first 3 pages.
I had to go look because I hadn't heard of "Fish Fingers" before. Here in the States, we have "Fish Sticks" and "Chicken Fingers" - I believe the fish sticks predated chicken fingers as a common food. Chicken and fish now appear to have nuggetized forms also and of course if you are catering to adults, or want to charge kids more, you have chicken tenders (which are actual tenderloin strips as they come off the bird, not minced and formed chicken).
Oh, by the way, I didn't get any advertising either. I may get a couple if something I am searching for is obviously a product purchased online but general queries are usually benign.
A. New security features that may really be intended to drive generic browsers out of the marketplace.. so I use the 'more generic'.
B. The internet seems to be getting more temperamental. I presume that the infrastructure is robbing bandwidth to sell iPads and such.
C. Governments are getting more territorial. Taiwan is considering blocking some overseas websites due to intellectual property issues.
D. Servers that can't keep up with the load. It seems that many of the glitches of late are due to server problems - some directly related to the Parallax Forum, but others seem to be due to going through Google to get to Parallax Forums. At times, I have had to go through the Parallax store site to reach the Parallax Forums.
In sum, the internet may just be suffering from age. As the world's economies are less vibrant, all enterprises look for ways to cut costs. If technology is your biggest overhead item, that is going to take a hit.
Hey, that does it, thanks
