    So I type a reply to a post, hit the submit button. It doesnt post but I get the message:

    "Unexpected Error"

    Heh - no kidding

    The only way I can post is via the bridge!

    Often I can't make a new line when typing a response.

    Have to save it and then edit it to add the carrriage returns

    Been happening a lot to me lately, over the past several days.  Repeated errors, never actually submitting the post.  I've been getting around it by ...wait for it... closing IE, and using FireFox to post to this forum instead.

    Me, too.  Depends on the browser: it's always been an issue in IE9, for me.  Of course, since submitting posts at all in IE (IE9 or IE8) has become an issue, that's now a small concern.

    Same here. I use Chrome for the Forum, it behaves much better. The 'Unexpected Error' issue is less common if I open post fully rather than reply from the expanded sequence.

    Nice thing now though is that if I have the forum open in IE9 or 10 the page title is "“Foro de Expression Web and SuperPreview”. It's the correct title in English in Chrome.

    FWIW, I end up html view and have random bits of the HTML stripped out. It was frustrations like these that lead me to open the Expression Web Forum It at least works including notifications.

    This thread has been moved to the Forums Issues forum.

    These type of posts do not belong in the topical Expression Web forum.

    If you want to discuss the forum software, this is the place to do it.  Period.

    This thread has been moved to the Forums Issues forum.

    That seems to have worked out as well as everything else here, since I'm still seeing it in the EW forum. ;-)

    I edit the html and add a <br> followed by a couple characters, then I can keep going before submitting my post.

    Note that in IE, you can add a line break (<br>) by pressing Shift+Enter. No HTML editing required for that. (And pressing Enter without Shift adds <p></p> element.)

    This text follows two line breaks.

    New paragraph here.

    Well, no, it doesn't.  When IE9 can't add a line, it's stuck, period.  It won't respond to enter (or there would be no complaint about not being able to add a line).

    Of course, since for the past several days, and still now, I can't post in the forum with either IE8 or IE9 - an infinite sequence of "Unexpected Error" - OK - Submit - "Unexpected Error" ensues - it doesn't really matter.

    Lori,

    Point taken.

    However there's no obvious link from the Expression forums to the 'Forums Home' and then on to this 'Issues' forum. Unless I'm missing something obvious......

    Yes, I've noticed the general posting issues in the forums, and I find it very annoying, too.

    However, I have never had any problems getting Enter to create a new paragraph and to get Shift+Enter create a <br> element using Internet Explorer 9 (on Windows 7).
