Title: Replying Problems
Post by: bore on September 23, 2011, 01:03:34 PM
 Whenever I try to post a reply to something longer than the box you get at the start the box jumps up and down whenever you press a character, does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it? thanks in advance.

I used to have this problem. Try compatibility modus.(The 'broken-up page' next to where the URL is)

I've had the same issue, ever since I got a new computer. Belgian, can you explain that further?

As BS suggested, what you need to do is click the little broken piece of paper box right next to the address bar in IE.  A pop up will say you are now in Compatibility Mode and your preview screen should work properly.

I was always a defender of IE, it worked, I had tried the others and didn't like for whatever reason.  But IE sucks, if you can use something else, do it.  I like Chrome.  I use IE at work (right now) and hate it.

Thanks dead0man and Belgiumsocialist, the problem seems to have gone away now. Although I've just got so used to the internet explorer layout that changing just doesn't seem right, maybe I will if another problem occurs
