Title: Typing replies or adding new topics
Post by: archangel1 on September 06, 2009, 11:20:47 PM: Has anybody else noticed this? When I'm replying to a post, opening a new topic or adding a series of picture links, if I happen to go beyond the space available, the field tends to bounce up and down while I'm typing and the line I'm working on is hidden below the box. I have to drag the arrow up and down to see whether I've made any mistakes. It's really bad if I'm trying to paste a series of links to my pictures, often ending up with them being out of the desired order because I can't see what I'm doing.

Must be differing religions lol.

It must be Internet Explorer cocking up, because that's what is on our other computer. I use FireFox on this one.

Post by: argsilverson on September 07, 2009, 11:04:39 PM: It started very recently, sometimes I have the same problem.
I cannot tell whom we have to blame or the way to rectify it.
but I can propose a way to overcome it for those who want to post lengthy posts:

write your post as a doc document and copy it here.
