Internet Explorer 8 doesn't work well with entering messages

[reneuend]

Has anyone else had an issue with IE8 when entering messages? If I write enough to cause a vertical slide bar to show up, then as I type, it bounces to the top of the message. It's very annoying! I'll have to try FF and see if I get the same issue with it.

Ah yes..that's why i stayed with IE 7..Although it has it's quirks too..
I.E 8 is a beta right...? You can go back if u want...I guess..

Vista forced me to update it to IE8....it said it was important and could not be disabled

Same problem here.... frustrating. I guess that I need to write shorter posts. I had to get around it by typing my response in a text editor with the html codes in it and then pasting it into the reply window.

You don't have to take any updates..just instead of going to Express Install[recommended] or whatever it says..do a [Custom Intall]..then u can choose your updates..I'm pretty sure u can do that with any O.S...I also chose not to take SP3 cause it's huge..and really..why fix something that isn't broken..llol..

To go back..for those that are interested..just follow these directions..according to your operating system..and whether or not u installed it with SP 3 or it came separately..It explains it here..

Hope that helps..there is also documentation on how to fix certain issues..in case it might fix this as well..~ There is a compatibility view option u can use i believe...

Thanks...I might try it later

I wasn't sure the problem was because of my PC or IE8 since I hadn't heard anyone else complain about it. Now that I know it's IE8, I'll fix it.

Thanks for the links, Mercedes.
