The radio roster box isn't affected by the browser.  It appears to auto-refresh anytime a player enters or leaves the roster for that radio freq (like range).  If there are lots of names to display, as you scroll through the list to see who's on, it will snap back to the top when the list updates.  Perhaps adding a refresh button like the arena roster has would be a good idea.

That much I do know but my response was a result of these posts earlier on.

That's a problem with your web browser. If you're using IE7 or 8 you need to add these forums to the "compatibility view" setting. It's under tools, compatibility view.

Yep dkff49, you point out a classic example of people that either quote more of a message than they need to set up their answer, or just aren't clear enough about what they are actually responding to.  ;)

+1 to fix the auto-refreshing radio roster list.   :aok

Yes, I think a radio roster box refresher would be the best option, much like the refresh button for the normal roster. Can you imagine trying to scroll down the regular roster if it auto-updated?

Hehehehe

 I know that wasn't directed at me.  I hate hordes - flying with them, and flying against them.

Well I don't plan on changing browsers, so I'll have to deal with the forum, but I think that the radio bar can be fixed, and is not affected by browser.

Oki doki.  Never seen it do that.

I support the "stop hanging out with the hordes" solution.

Not always range hordes- I've flown with other squads before where the number on channel exceeds the space.

Umm, no. Also effects scenarios where flights/squads sometimes may exceed the page.

This just made a light bulb pop on over my head.

Is the radio bar jumping because when someone keys up it highlights their name on the bar?  The bar is jumping down to their highlighted name?

It doesn't jump when there are fewer names than space does it?  IE: you can see everyone in the radio bar at the same time?

Maybe that's why it's jumping back and forth.

I think maybe I have seen this before in a scenario and that's why I was reminded of it.

Nope, it seems to be when someone needs to be added or removed from the list as you're viewing it.  Same thing happens in the mission list, which annoys the crap outta me during FSO when I'm trying to find our squad's mission.
