Is there a button / option I need to click?

So that when I am writing a long post (or have included a quote) that the "message" box does not keep bouncing back to the top as I type (so after a dozen lines I can't see what I have been typing!).

For example.....











I wrote this bit blind!

Are you by any chance posting from a smart phone?

Does it to me also here at my work computer it's frusterating (internet explorer).  I've started using word to compose and then I cut and paste.  Sometimes formatting and puntuation gets garbled when pasting though.  Atleast that's my story...

No smart phone - just a notebook (using Internet Explorer). Funnily enough had the same issue on another forum I recently joined - but finally twigged I had to click something called a "toggle" button......each time I post, but better than the alternative......here I have clicked on everything I can see with no effect  ???

I have this vague recollection of having the same problem when I first joined Sailfar.net a few years back - but it was easily sorted........I had a few years off (lost me password etc  ::)). But I might be getting confused!

Can do the Word thing, just got to learn to be careful with punctuation - cutting and pasting seems to like to replace things with a ? mark!

Not the EOTW - just annoying  :'(

After having the forum eat a few of my posts....I usually type longer posts in notepad or something and then cut/paste.

FWIW

I seem to recall having a similar problem when I expanded the quick reply box during a long post (I'm not sure if it is a site feature or a browser feature). I would keep getting bumped back to the top. So I started just using the default box. It doesn't show as much; but it works ok.  For long post I, like others, have begun using an external editor and cutting and pasting. That way if I get interrupted before I complete I can come back to it later.
