what would your preferred behavior for that window be?

im not sure what else it would do when entering a post of x amount of lines, its always going to be bigger than the box youre typing into.... 

maybe im not understanding specifically enough?

It scrolls and I cant even see what I am typing then, this is the issue I have with it.

Maybe a forum option to not scroll the post window a boolean value. Shrug.

[justjezmund]

are you scrolling while you are typing? :|

i dont get it.

position cursor, click outside text box, type away.


unless im missing something.

Are you saying that it scrolls up and/or down on its own?  If so, I'd say that it's your browser.

ok, i watched the video, didnt realize thats what that link was previously. 

i cant say thats something ive ever seen and i dont know how to reproduce it. 

looks like a windows machine, what browser are you running?

I remember this being an issue for me too (at least I think its the same issue) and it pissed me off.  Not that the forum sucked, because it doesn't, but because it was just a pain.  Someone gave me this tip...

At the bottom of the posting window, in the middle, is a double line thing, well really anywhere along the bottom edge, and you can adjust the window.  Then the auto-scrolling thing you are talking about should go away.  I think you are going to have a big "A-HA" type of moment, thank the Lord which is me  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard,  and keep on paugin'.

Scrolling snafu happens with IE8 on Windoze. I know, cause it happened to me too when I 'pauged at  the local library who insist on having that set-up.

I watched that video a few times trying to see what browser is being run and it definitely looked like IE. I used to swear by IE and now I find it very antiquated and clunky. Firefox, dude!

I use IE because its easier to manage in my work environment.  It sucks, but oh well.  I can paug on it.

FACT: IE blows goats
FACT: MS ignores standards
to push their own techs

IE is for work
Only because I have to
Else Chrome FTW!

we can't be responsible for the poor actions of a non-standards-compliant browser such as IE.

I'd like to push an MS tech. Off a cliff preferably. Yes, I'm pauging from the local libary again.

how come for the past couple months when I click on "show unread posts since last visit" at the top it always tells me that there are none.  Then I have to click the "show all unread topics" link on that page to see them

does this happen to everyone else?
