A forumite has experienced a problem entering a post. This happened more than once. After typing several lines the edit box won't scroll up anymore. After a certain point he enters text the words scroll down but he can't see them and the scroll bars don't scroll anymore. He just OKs the text already entered and that finishes the post.

I'd like to fix the problem for several reasons. One reason is I don't want anything to hinder our loyal members from posting more!  Wink

Please let me know (by PM, email or a post here) if you have experienced that problem or any glitches at all with this forum software. The more detail you can provide about the bug the better chance I have of solving it.

This turns out to be a problem with Internet Explorer, all other browsers work well. The fact that Microsoft bothered to make a compatibility box in the first place shows us it is clear they are aware they have problems following standards.

1) In IE 8 select the gear icon (tools menu item)
2) Then select Compatibility View Settings
3) A form comes up where you can enter a single website or check the box to run in compatibility mode for all sites

We chose to check the box so we run in compatibility mode all the time.
