I updated to IE 8 today and I am having trouble with posting on messages that scroll. The message keeps scrolling back to the start of the scroll except for when I type a letter it shows where the cursor actually is but then it jumps back to the bottom of the scroll.
Anybody else having this issue?

Hmm....i haven't run across that one yet. Maybe one of the other guys can enlighten?

I tried IE 8 a few weeks ago.
I had all sorts of problems with it.
I rolled back to IE 7.

I don't understand about posting and scrolling. Is that similar to the shoutbox on here?

No, it is weird and hard to explain but as I'm typing if I start to get a scrollbar then as I go past the point of scrolling it keeps going to the last line.
I think I am just going to roll back to IE 7 and would have already but I had to reboot to get some IE8 update off first.

I have the same issue on the Windows XP in my daughter's room. I don't know if she upgraded to IE8. Now I'm going to have to look at it...

I use Google Chrome most of the time, but I do use IE 8 for the *Cubs message board and a couple of others and haven't noticed a problem. I do that on 2 computers, one XP and one Vista.
I can't use Chrome for the Cubs board, because the last automatic update from Google made it so no threads are visible on the MLB boards.

I have the same problem when "quoting" someone. I disabled refresh, seems to help?

I rolled back to IE7 and it is working again. I tried to get help at MS's forums but my scripts aren't enabled and I don't know which ones need to be going through the long list in the security tab. Their forums don't work in either 8 or 7 for me. But it could be Zone Alarm too.

Click on the torn piece of paper to the right of the address bar. It forces IE8 into a compatibility mode which solved the problem for me. I just upgraded my Office Suite an at the same time upgraded the browser from IE6 to IE8. You may have to do this each time you log on, I have not logged off and back yet.

I know what you're talking about. I have problems with it on certain threads here...but never in all of them. If it gets too annoying I just switch to Safari for Windows...or wait til I get home to post.
