Dotsie, has anyone mentioned how the screen jumps when writing a new post? It starts after about 3-4 paragraphs. It's very frustrating...it actually makes me motion-sick! LOL.

I've noticed the problem on my computer, my laptop and my stepdaughter's computer last weekend. It doesn't start jumping until after the screen is full of text...maybe it's a signal that I'm talking too much? smile

It sure sounds like the problem is on your end which doesn't make it any easier to accept. Maybe something is haywire with your hard drive?

But it happens on three completely different computers, the third one being in a different city/province, so it can't just be my computer or network. I think I remember Gims mentioning a similar experience awhile back.

Eagle, I wish I could help, but it's never happened to me.

How about anyone else?

I haven't noticed anything like that. Maybe it's the transatlantic cable?? Just kidding, but this is certainly strange.

I was just thinking I should have been more accurate...it's not the whole screen that jumps, it's the text inside of the reply/post box...when I type beyond the bottom of the box, all the text in the box jumps around.

So I just tested...typed about 25 lines, and the text never jumped. Which makes me think it might only be happening in the edit box. I'll try to edit another post, just to see what line it starts jumping at.

Addendum: now I'm in the edit box, typing nothing important, trying to see when the text starts jumping.

now its'jumping...so it's in the edit box that I experience the jumping, starting at whatever line I'm typing right now.

Yes, I'm glad you brought this up Eagle. The same thing happens to me when I post. When the post is a bit longer, I can't see what I'm writing.

Now I'm wondering if it has anything to do with you gals being out of the US...I've never heard of this problem before...at least, let me say that no one has ever brought it to our attention before. Strange...I really don't know what to make of it.
