Operating Issues with this Web Site

[CapriRacer]

First, let me apologize for posting this in the wrong forum. It seems like there isn't a place I can post operational problems.

For example, the "Board Issues" section won't allow me to post a new topic or even reply to existing topics.

The problem I want to report has to do with the reply box. If I post a lengthy reply - yeah, yeah, I do that a LOT!!! - the reply box will only scroll down to a certain point while I am typing.

I can demonstrate this:

Copy this post and paste it in a reply box. Then type at the end of this post. The reply box only displays up to the words "I can demonstrate this:" as I type. This makes editing a reply very, very annoying.

If someone can notify the administartors of the web site, I would appreciate it.

We discussed this a while back. Are you using Windows 7? If so, going into Compatibility Mode will fix the problem.

I've had the same problem with Windows XP IE8. I believe TooManyWheels is correct, use compatibility view/mode.

I don't have this problem. I just tried to duplicate the behavior you are seeing and I could not. I'm using Win 7 64-bit with FireFox and IE8.

Edit: Oh, wow. trippy. I just got it to work. Wow, that's super super annoying. I don't have this issue in FireFox or running IE in a FireFox tab. It seems to happen in the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of IE8.
Edit again: yup, compatability view works in IE8. It's amazing what you learn on BITOG.

Has anyone else noticed a multi page thread will sometimes have the last page be completely empty? Where'd it go?

 

[JHZR2]

yes Ive gotten that. Also when I get an email notification, if I click the link often Ill be logged out... But not really. Open a new page and come to the site and Im logged in.

Might get more feedback if moved to the computer section.

That could be your browser not using its normal profile, missing cookies. I get that with email links as a result of crudely forcing firefox to use an old profile every time I launch it from its shortcut.

Mine has been trouble free in the last few months, except yesterday and the day before access was REALLY slow and timed out a few time.s

 

[CapriRacer]

Wow, I just now discovered this thread over here! Probably never would have looked here if it wasn't dead slow at work right now.

OK, I'll try the compatibility mode.

Anyone try this with IE 9?

 

[CapriRacer]

Well, I went to my properties tab and the page says that comparibility is built-into the version of windows that I have and can not be changed!

Any other ideas?

How about IE9?
