I'm glad I checked out the forum on the duplicated field issue not saving the data. Sadly, I'll have to delete all my work yesterday and re-duplicate the fields today. I signed up for your new alerts though, so I can get a heads up as new releases become available.
Will there be a fix to the IE viewing capabilities? Since updating to the new version everything works great in FireFox but non of our forms are viewable in IE.
I am unaware of what IE viewing issues you are referring to. Have you posted on the support forum explaining these issues? We have no reports of IE related form display bugs. If the forms are not viewable in IE it is likely going to be some sort of issue related to your theme stylesheet or possibly a Javascript error. Please on the support forum with more details AND links to the pages containing the forms so we can view them in IE. Never assume a bug has been reported, if we don't know about an issue we can't fix it.
@emccoppin, I reviewed your support issue in the forum and wasn't able to reproduce any display/view-ability issues in Internet Explorer. I posted my findings there on the forums. If you have anything to add, please post back on the support topic. Thanks.
