Problems With Posting
« on: June 12, 2009, 01:07:41 pm »
Today I had a strange thing happen to me when I type , the bar on the side of the box you write in goes up and down every time I enter a character :S (Happening right now)
Its really awkward and It only starts to happen after I write a few words. It sorta gives the impression the screen is flashing as well .
Anyone else notice this and can advise me for a cure ?

Maybe a weird bug with the scroll wheel of your mouse or something.

Well if it's only for that pot it shouldn't be a problem.  But if it happens again...I don't know, you could try it in another browser or something.

Test it with text input forms on other sites too. It may be a general problem with Internet Explorer. If not, post an update and if I ever reproduce the problem I'll try to fix it.

The same issue happens to me every now and then when I use internet explore. Part of the reason why I switched to Firefox.

While we're on the subject of posting problems, whatever happened to the spellcheck button?

There was a spell check button?!

Just kidding. Since my computer does the same like TK's, I have never used it. Probably removed for that reason: It was unnecessary.

But there are always words I'm sure Ive srewed up on when writing, and spellcheck was the only tool I had to tell me if I was right! It may be unnesisary* for small mistakes, but I like knowing how to actually spell a word I'm sure I've messed up on so I don't mess up the second time!

I've been back for a while now. To be honest, I never really left.
