I have been working on trying to find a solution to a posting issue.
To where, if you post a long post in the posting box, you cannot see what you are typing as the cursor keeps jumping to the top.

(yes, you can type it in word, cut and paste) but, that does not fix the issue.

This is not a forum problem, it is a compatability issue between IE8 and all forums.
The only "fix" that I have found so far, is to change to a different browser.

But, I am stuborn...I don't want to change.

Has anobody else had these issues? (I know a few moderators that have, and me, since I upgraded to IE8)

Do you know of a solution?

So...here it is if you have an issue:

Go to the tool bar, click tools, click compatibility view settings, add mnoutdoorsman to the compatibility view, then close the box.

It should fix the issue............  :king:

Hey, you do good work.  I believe that corrected the issue.  There is also a "broken page" icon on the top line that I believe would do the same thing.  If I remember correctly, that is what I might have done to fix the issue sometime ago but for some reason had clicked on the icon again thus removing the compatability view for this web site.
Thanks for the good work.
