Trouble reading posts in the Forum

hshrader -- Wed, 02/04/2009 - 23:53

Dear Editors,
I have had some trouble using your Forums.
1) When i try to write an entry, the form used goes beyond the window (even using the left/right scroll bar) so it is not possible to see my full message.
2) I am unable to read some of the posts. The space for the message is there but not words. I can see that there are posts from the number of posts recorded and the replies that come after the blank spaces.
3) I have made a couple of entries, and each time i am unable to read my entry. I made these entries by starting out with a Word file (see point 1), in case that might have something to do with it.
This seems systemic - i don't think it is my computer.
Kind regards,
Hans

Hello Hans,
We're sorry that you're having trouble with the site. If you can provide what Operating System and Browser you are using that would be helpful in troubleshooting the issues. Also I wouldn't recommend using Microsoft word as it can be problematic if you copy/paste into the entry. Please note that formatting such as bold, italics and sizes will not transfer directly. Alternatively you might try notepad (On a windows system) if you want to write your article prior to posting on the website and then apply any formatting on the post page.

Have you considered upgrading to Internet Explorer 7?

I also noticed the same problem with computer at work which is Win XP and IE6 but
no problem with my computer at home which uses the latest version of firefox.
Basically it is a message that is posted by replying the previous message that
is showed up as blank space.
Messages that are replied via post comment button showed up ok.
