Replying Problems

[roversmillsy]

Whenever I reply to a thread, when I quote somebody and I reach the end of the text box, when I start to type, the text box keeps scrolling up. I was wondering how I could stop this from happening. Thanks in advance.

Get a decent browser? Doesn't sound like a website issue per se.

Attempts to replicate this have failed me. If I can't get it to happen, it's hard for me to fix.

It was only happening to me on sunday around 12GMT for an hour or so. It actually hasn't happened since.

I've actually had this problem - using IE 8 (bloody work).

Intermittent though, seems to depend on how much text is in the box.

IE 8 broke my computer at work. Firefox FTW! (It would be chrome, but it's a bit picky about sitting behind a proxy)

Whilst I like Firefox, it does annoy me with how slow it is to initialise though.

Yeah, that's the major problem I have with it too.

The only thing that's more annoying than it for speed is AVG9. My god is that a slow piece of cpu and memory hogging crap.

Twas fine before Microsoft bought it...

I've noticed this.

Are there any other free alternatives?

Avast is free but I've seen a laptop get in a very bad state with trojans while it was installed so I wouldn't entirely trust it's database/resident scanner. I use clamwin as my portable AV and it's very solid (as well as being GNU) if you don't need a resident element.

What does this mean in lay terms?

I think it means that if you understand it, you're less likely to get one.

It is freely provided under the GNU open source agreement.
It does not have an on access scanner which checks each file as you open/execute it - you have to tell it to scan your files as and when.
