How do I......
« on: February 19, 2011, 08:21:40 PM »
How do I fix the problem when posting a long reply. The problem, shows up as the window stops scrolling, and what you are writing dissapears below the window.

I've seen the fix for this, but can't seem to locate the anser searching the Archives.

Hi John,

I had the same problem with MS I.Explorer. Now I use Mozilla Firefox and the problem does not happen.

I think this thread is the one you seek. In IE, click "page", then make sure "compatability view" is checked.  HIHI%% Steve

Sometimes you can click "view" at the top left of screen, then in the pull down menu, click "zoom" and then "zoom out". A couple times should do it...bear in mind though, the print gets smaller...to reverse the effect, zoom back in. [this is in windows with Mozilla]H^^

Thanks guys, I knew the answer was somewhere on the forums. I clicked on tools and then compatibility. It's an annoying little problem, but this has fixed it. H^^

I *think* I have left clicked in the message window, held down the "ctrl" button while hitting  "+" (plus) or "-" (minus) which expands or reduces the text size. 

This works on any "page", but you have to click in the message window to localize it there.  Really helps to read pages with tiny text.  You *might* have to use the right/left arrows to scroll across the page if you enlarge it too many times.  each time you hold down "ctrl" and hit "+" it gets bigger, and use the opposite "-" (minus) to return to the original text size..

Some of you already know this, but............ ;D

Hi PJ,

I dumped "Internet EXPLODER" many years ago on the advice of my oldest son.  I figured if I spent the money on him for a college computer degree, I should get some advice out of the deal........... LL~

Firefox for internet and Thunderbird for email.
