Lines of words overlapping just lately.

The worst thing for me is when typing a long post and the bottom of the "box" jumps up and down - most distressing.

Cheers Mr. Blippi. Wink

Why is it people think that whenever I have a problem, it's my mate Jack who's to blame?

No, it's just that if your post is larger than the box, the line you're typing jumps around - damned annoying!
You have to check the line after typing - difficult to explain, really!

I have just reproduced in IE8. How odd, I am fairly certain these are just standard HTML multiline text boxes, so it could be an IE error.

Really you should all be using a proper browser, like Google Chrome or Firefox Smiley

Given it's the single most important piece of software installed on your operating system you should have a decent browser really Smiley

I will have a dig on the simple machines forum to see if I can find anything about the issue.

I have had a read on the simple machines site and it seems (as suspected) that this is a Microsoft bug.

If you are using IE8, when viewing this forum, click the 'Tools' menu on the top right and select 'Compatibility View'

This will stop the problem happening.

Or install one of the other browsers I mentioned... you know you want to...

Have a look on the right hand end of the address bar Pete.
There's a button (icon?) there which if you move your mouse pointer over it will say "Compatability Mode"
Click on that and see if it helps.
