fix? nothing known to fix at this point… working fine for users (other than two here) and in our testing… never did get any data back from them to troubleshoot further…
so I guess we need more info (is a relatively old topic)… unfortunately, I have to use IE10 to test things out and for websites I develop… luckily its the best IE yet, but still catching up to other browsers in support of standards..
And as always a link to your site helps…
I sent you a PM with login access to our private member’s area where you can view the forum.
We’ve only had two members with this problem but we don’t really have many members to begin with.
if you do, make sure you link back to this topic so we know what its about…
also since IE 10 notoriously hangs onto things via caching, want to make sure you are not running any caching plugins, right?
IF you are, you must tell it to not cache the forum page for ANY caching types you are using… all forum content appears on a single wp page and is dynamic in nature…
I’m getting reports of the same problem on my Simple:Press install. User has IE10 running Win8, can’t navigate the forum because the hover elements are hovering over links. Identical to the first post in this thread.
Works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I’m running version 5.3.1 of the plugin and version 3.6.1 of WP.
@kbiglione
I am not seeing that issue here or on my test sites.
Could we get a url to yours and try it there?
Hi there, I am too having issues on a site of one of our clients with windows 8 / ie10. I think vtip is the culprit. Is there any way to disable the vtip tooltip enhancer on the forum and let normal tooltips take over? Maybe this will resolve the problems,,
Yes indeed.
You need to make a small edit to your Simple:Press theme. In this case the spFunctions.php file which is in the /templates folder of the theme you are using. You can do this using the theme editor from the forum admin.
In the following define:
define('SP_TOOLTIPS', true);
change the true to false.
And please do let us know the outcome…

This worked for me! 
No more problems with ie10 and windows 8.. Thanks for the help Yellow Swordfish!
Now back to translating the front+backend of simple:press to dutch.. 
wow – that’s a surprise.
If everyone else with the problem can try this as well – may as well get some more confirmations.
We can try and discover what the problem is although trying to find problems with any version of IE can be a bit of a nightmare 
I would say a big thank you for the debugging effort. That is much appreciated.

PROBLEM: IE 10 with windows 8 – Logged in users forum links not working on the Forum front page …. them we don’t know after that.
Yes I have the same problem but I can’t find the spFunctions.php file in my theme folder.
The file to be edited is the related to the function.php included in my theme folder?
or is the function.php file included in /wp-content/themes-ai1ec/vortex/ ?
Thanks in advance
no, not the wp theme, the sp them… so look in wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/xxxx where xxxx is the sp theme you are using… then drill down to the template files directory…
