In the probbly-so-late-you're-absent-category . . .

Can anybody tell me why I can only go so far down in a post before the screen starts scrolling back everytime I type a letter?  It makes it very difficult to post wen I cannot see what I am typing.  I'll bet this was a new feature designed to make me post smaller items - lol!

I have never experienced that phenomena. What browser are you using?

This happens to me too , only when I am typeing a long post, when the margins correct the cursor disapears below the lower border and each keystroke returns it if I scroll up .

So if I try to make one especially long I type it out on a word processor and cut and paste.

IE8.  It's strange but it seems consistent.  I can scroll down but the screen immediately pops right back up to a certain point.  It is annoying as all git-out.  Now, just to make a liar out of me, this post seems to be working fine.  Maybe I just needed a reboot.


Nope.  It starts at this line right here.  I can see the line each time I hit a key, but the page immediately scrolls back up to the line above.

I hate IE. Are you capable of using firefox or google chrome?

hard to fix if you can't duplicate the error.

Are you using Chrome vs I.E., Pooch?  I had the same problem with Chrome.  It had to do with the icon at the top of the page.  I'm not on my computer, so I can't tell you what it was.  But clicking on it, fixed the problem

My mistake...it was the "compatibility view" icon in I.E., that I had to hit.  That did solve the problem that was identical to yours, while in the newest version of I.E.
