See Post #12 for a different solution, it lets the editor work in IE10
If you are an Admin of a VB4 site with the ckeditor (all versions since 4.1.4 I believe) you probably know that the VB4 editor is not compatible with Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) web browsers.
As IE10 becomes more popular this is a bigger issue for site administrators.
The good news is the "Standard Editor" in VB 4.x does work, it is only the WYSIWYG editor with the problem.
This simple singe plugin mod will force IE10 users, and only IE10 users to the Standard Editor no matter what they have chosen in their settings.
This should prevent complaints from users about the editor not working properly.
We hope this issue will get fixed in a future VB4 version, maybe 4.2.1, maybe later, at that time you can remove this product.
No documentation, no settings, just import the XML file and it is active, disable or remove the product and it stops working.
Installation Instructions:
Log into your Admin CP
Go to Add/Import Product under "Plugins & Products" on the side menu.
Click the "Choose File" button to find the attached product xml file.
Press "Import"
Done.
I did and it works better than ever - fixes the IE10 compatibility as well as some really annoying chrome bugs.
I've heard that people have done this and it worked, others have said it causes issues (vBulletin themselves being one of them). You would think if it was as easy as just dropping in files vB would have done it a long time ago. Not being a coder myself I'm a little reluctant to just swap out core and crucial files to the operation of the site, but for those of you willing to, please report back your experiences!
I know I have also seen bugs related to the latest versions of Chrome (dating back to 2012), especially when trying to edit posts, not to mention the IE10 issues.

The cell phone forum in your signature - http://cellphoneforums.net - does not work with IE10 for me... will you share what forum you updated following those instructions?

Actually, I just updated it (forum is running 4.1.12). It should work now. I had previously updated Nikonites which is running 4.1.9

If you just upload the 3.6.6 files, no it won't work, but the attachment in the thread I posted has been modified slightly to work with vBulletin.
The Chrome bugs were driving me insane! I'm not sure if this fixes the edit bug though.
Edit: No - the 'go advanced' edit bug is not fixed by this. Specifically, preserving line returns.
