PAMman Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 When I attempt to reply to a topic the text box is covered by the text editing menu. Everything that I type is being created 'behind' the full-width edit menu and I can't see anything until I complete the post. In other words I have to type completly blind as the same happens when I attempt to 'preview' my post. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG???? Someone please help as this is driving me NUTS. Thanks.

redwatch Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I believe its a PC issue with Windows Explorer. Many people complained about that issue with the latest upgrade. The easiest work around was to use Firefox instead. I believe there were a couple of other options, but you would have to do a quick search for them as I just can't recall what they were. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 This happens to me from time to time as well, but mostly when I'm editing a post. I've found that if I click out of the text window and then click the text again, the text will correct itself and wrap back around to the next line, fitting everything within the window correctly. The problem may be an issue with the browser you and I are using; dunno for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I had nothing but problems with Explorer on the forum.. since I added firefox.. 100 better.. FF has more options also for a variety of problems.. I'm quite happy with it .. I can still access explorer.. but haven't found the need to since using FF..

mastrmindalliance Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 weak Huh? And this is FF I'm talking bout... not IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 So that's a no. It won't be fixed just live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 If it was something which could be fixed by the Admin, it would be done by now. It is a modification which needs to be made by the software producers. And ..."No" we don't ..."just live with it" If you can't use a current browser which doesn't give that problem, then you will need to wait for the upgrade. I use "Chrome" and have no problems... all the problems appear to stem from "vintage" browsers.....a bit like watches really! O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
