Trouble posting on forum

[Geo the Sarge]

Recently got  a new PC and find that I have difficulty when replying to posts through the "quote" function.

When I use this option and begin to type my reply the text box automatically jumps back up to the start of the quoted post, therefore I am unable to see what I am typing unless I scroll down again.

Very frustrating

Any ideas.

(turned it on and off many times Tom.)

PC is a PB One Two all in one thingy

Currently on the default browser (Igoogle) as I have just set it up recently and haven't decided on browser as yet. Which would you recommend.

Best to download Firefox and try using that.

Mine has done the same with IE8 I believe.

Switching it to Compatibility Mode (icon near 'refresh' & 'stop' icons adjacent to address bar - from memory, normal caveats!) seems to do the trick.

However, I do find that Compatibility Mode seems to toggle itself off at random, lengthy intervals

The standard fix for any IE bug is - don't use IE

That one always works and doesn't randomly toggle itself on and off
