When posting or replying, in the text box, my cursor is flashing on an off in a somewhat syncopated rythmn instead holding solid. Further and more importantly, when I begin to type and fill the text box below what is initially visible, the screen keeps scrolling up after I type. I can't keep the line I'm typing on displayed. I have to scroll down to find my last line and as I type the text line jumps up and down.
I have no idea what may be causing this and it does not occur anywhere else on my system when I'm typing in anything else. Otherwise I would think a malware macro was causing this, but as I just lost my hard drive last week and installed a new one, reloading everything from scratch, I think I have a clean machine. This problem has occured contineously for the past week since reloading AH and getting back on the Forum.

What internet browser are you using? A few people had the same problem earlier this year...I figured out that with I.E. 8 the boards had to be viewed in compatibility mode to stop it. There was a version of Firefox that caused it too but I can't remember the exact version, but I believe it's been fixed in the latest rev.

I posted the very same thing months ago. Still happening exactly as you say. Its verrrrrrrrrry irratating.
Could someone get to the bottom of this. I post on many other forums not related to AH2 and I have no probelm there. ONLY ON THIS FORUM.

I had the same problem using IE 8 but it works fine in compatibility mode. Thanks for the tip Gyrene. BTW, to do this in IE 8 go to the "Page" menu and select compatibility mode. Once you select it there IE remembers the selection and will use compatibility mode whenever you go to the forums. Other non-AH websites don't appear to be affected.
