    weird thing the site keeps doing

    So;

    Whenever I use the quick reply, the field starts slowly scrolling upwards as I type. Any ideas why?

        Doesn't seem to be a Museum issue. All is well on this end.

          I concur. . . .and it makes it almost impossible to write a post over 5 or 6 lines, as you scroll down, but it doesn't stay long enough to re-write, correct, add or whatever. can't proof read what you are writing etc.

          I end up, writing the post in a word processor (which sometimes corrects my awful spelling), and then cut and paste it into the field and then post it. Painful, but a useful work around. . . . .which is a total pain in the butt!

              Have always just used Explorer. . . .I know that is against conventional wisdom. . . . but easy for lazy people, or who are just resistant to change (Not that I am either of those LOL). Vista is the operating system.

                Explorer; but I just updated to the newest one. The older one didn't do this.

                  I usually use another browser, but am posting this right now from the latest version of IE. No problem, no scrolling. Hmm...

                  I am running an XP machine. Wonder if it has anything to do with Vista.

                    Dave, thanks for checking this out, just one of the many many things you do around here. I should probably just change browsers and see how that goes.

                    The problem with the scrolling doesn't start until you have filled in the text box and then a few more lines. . . . .so the first 5 or 6 lines or more usually isn't enough to start the problem. I hope that makes sense. . . .I usually don't though! LOL!

                      I'm using XP Pro.

                      Yup. Like I said; it only started a few days back. I had to reforamt, and updated to the newest Explorer. Funny thing it's only happeneing to two of us. I KNOW more folks use Explorer here, and some of 'em MUST have updated.

                        Try using the small arrows at the top right of the message box.Widens the window,gives you more room to type and prevents the awkward scrolling.

                          Don, the same thing was happening to me! The only way I could keep the PM from scrolling was by resuming my typing. I could not even proofread it the way I like. It's weird for me too!! I have done nothing to upgrade.

                            I had that problem when I used IE but have never had he problem with Firefox. Also noted that in IE all the smileys weren't there where as they are with firefox...
