Typing bug on LAF for long posts?
« on: January 21, 2012, 07:52:35 PM »
Hi

I have noticed that on long posts with pics that when the post gets over a certain length the script at the end jumps and I can't see where or what I'm typing.

Jollybob seems to have had the same problem, I wondered if it was a common issue or if we need to change specs on out pcs?

Thanks

Adam

I have the same problem using Internet Explorer.

Interestingly, it doesn't do it when I use Opera or Safari browsers, and it doesn't do it when I use IE on my work laptop - only IE on my home PC. Sounds like something in the forum's settings doesn't like a particular version of Internet Explorer  ::)

It does make it blinking difficult to type anything once you've reached the bottom of the text entry box and need to scroll down...

I'm using Internet Explorer 8.

Doesn't mean anything much to me, but perhaps it needs updating or something.

If you still use internet explorer you should try Mozilla Firefox instead. IMO is the best browser and it's free and user friendly :)
I have never had any problem with it.

Yes, it's a problem of older versons of Internet Explorer. I've got the IE9 and it works.
