Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem?  When I type a post, all is well till I get to the bottom of the space in the blue "reply" window.  Then the active line disappears below the bottom of the space, so I'm typing "blind" and I have to keep scrolling down with the mouse pointer to see what I've written.  As soon as I touch the keyboard the bottom few lines drop down out of sight again.  I did get a new computer over the weekend, but I don't get this problem on any other forums.

Yeah I get the same have done for a while, think it might be some kind of conflict with this forum's software and your web browser..

Doubt it Ian, I raised this many many months ago and still it happens, just to add to the stress the up loader is full, maybe they should download the free upgrade that can fix this problem, they are using forum software that is free and well out of date, upgrades that are free are there to download.

I guess we dont pay for this so cant compain to much, but is well annoying hence alot of people no go to others.

It seems to be a problem when using newer browsers.  I actually use a downgrade for forums.  It's OK in IE6.  IE7, IE8 and Mozilla Firefox seem to have issues with it though.

If you have compatability view at the top of your browser then use it and try again, you will see this cures that annoying problem. ;)
