Full Version: IE9 has problems with MyBB
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Three things don't work well (using mybb 1.6.0)
- Editing visual teplates through the admin interface, all the ENTERS are removed if you click in the text-area, have not hit SAVE because of it.
- Posting results in double-posts (even with the compatability tag there are errors - but no double posts)
- The quick delete-button (bottom right of a post) redirects to edit-post instead of quickdelete. Works with compatability tag.

Any fixes?

I've searched and read, and their solution is 'use the compatibility tag'.
Which I have:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

In my post, I've already stated that I've tried that option by indicating what did and did not work using the compatibility tag. Also, the bug with:
1) quick-delete was never mentioned before
2) template editing was never mentioned before
3) posting still keeps showing the 'loading' indicator over my forum, but the post is not double anymore.

So, any fixes?
TEMPORARY WORKAROUND

In the forum settings do this:

Enable XMLHttp request features?
NO.

This will make sure that posting is not quircky, in combintation with the compatibility tag mentioned before you're good to go. This does fix the template editing bug to some extent.

At least now the mybb team knows where to look Smile.

As demonstrated here: http://123kinect.com/kinect-forums/
I replaced jscripts/prototype.js with the current version of Prototype 1.7 from prototypejs.org

For me that fixes the double quick reply, and other problems.

I do not know if there are any repercussions due to replacing the Prototype JS Library. So far I have not noticed any but I haven't done any extensive testing either.

The next maintenance release of MyBB will update Prototype to 1.7. I haven't noticed any problems either and it does fix IE9's problems.
Would you recommend this as workaround until the next maintenance release?
Definitely not. I've been looking into it this morning and although it helps things like double posting it doesn't solve all the problems. The best workaround is still the compatibility tag placed in the headerinclude template.
