Does anyone else experience this??
When typing text, if it gets much bigger than the box, it seems to "jump", always back to the same point.
Ie. the cursor doesn't "scroll". You can keep typing, but after every letter you type, it jumps back up immediately to mid-body of the text, so you cannot actually see it!
Annoying!
I tend now to write posts in word, then paste them in....
Am I just being weird?!

Hi Steve
It seems to do it with both the big TC banner, and the link you posted.
It has done it for ages, but I haven't been posting lots, and when I did I just ignored it. It was Pats post re the piccies which made me write.
Not too busy at work today!!!
As I say, its fine with short posts, but with longer posts, when the scroll bar to the right of the text box starts getting smaller, I tends to display this glitch.

What Browser are you using, and which version ?. This info can usually be found from the Help->About menu item
-
IE8

Ok I'll try it
-
I get it with IE8 too, but not all the time. It happens on other websites too. I just put it down to another IE peculiarity and ignored it. It doesn't seem to be happening today :)

... and me. I'm getting to hate technology

Aye, "ME 2",
Vexing, has done it for years now, just drag it about with the scrole bar and/or Word Copy/Paste.
IE8.0.6001! ::)
Used to do it with IE7, as well.
As for using another browser! Being a lethargic, feardie, luddite, when it comes to software doesn't help ("What if?") ???.
Thank you for your continued time and support Steve.
My regards, Bill.

-

I'm not going to be able to fix this one. I would recommend the Google Chrome Browser, www.google.co.uk/chrome much faster than IE and renders things correctly

I am planning to upgrade the forum to release 2.0 at some point, at which point if this is still a problem I'll try and sort it.

Bush tucker mate! Tasty on a stick with a damper! ;)
As for your monitor mate, just invert it, you need N pole gravity to pull the letters back up from the Antarctica field! ::)
Hope your soft tissue is repairing.
I fell over again in a car park! ???
Tried fast walking, without picking me feet up, went down on the knees again with a wh*re of a clatter!! ::) Ruddy 'Speed Humps'. Too high! The left knee is once again receiving arnica and frozen pea compresses.
Toodle pip, Bill.

Not good to hear Bill, I hope you are on the mend , but "walking" at any pace is not good for you. besides it wears out the boots and shoes and you never know what you are walking into. stick with the bike.
I don't use a PC or a monitor, I use a laptop and the words keep slipping under the keyboard half and its a real bu55er to get them back. I have used a wire probe fashioned from a paper clip from time to time but find it generally tiresome due to the zap I get up my arm while trying to fish the letters out. I suppose eventually I will get a new laptop and I will be able to shake out those lost words and letters.
