#30622 - 08/04/10 07:58 PM Window 7 and GH Talk
Bogus_bill Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 2511 Loc: SMA Mexico	I am using the new Internet Explorer and a brand new Windows 7 box. My question is: why when using GHTalk and using the Quotes can't the screen scroll up as I type? It is always so irritating to scroll down to see what I typed. Rick, sage of Geeks, programmer extraordinare, any ideas? Anyone. Anyone. The install is still pristine and I am running in 64bit mode. Did IE go another direction again? _________________________ Obama's victory came from those who wanted him to change Washington, not America.

I don't think that's a Windows 7 issue. I had the same issue when I was using XP. It never really occured to me that it might be the IE 8. I figured it was just a secret plot to get me to type shorter responses. _________________________ "Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong." -Carl Sagan

Bogus_bill Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 2511 Loc: SMA Mexico	I tried the full reply. I have tried changing font sizes in Internet Explorer. The same problem occurs using Facebook so the quotes is not the problem. Perhaps it really is a sneaky move to keep our responses short. Thanks a lot Rick. _________________________ Obama's victory came from those who wanted him to change Washington, not America.

Rick journeyman Registered: 07/08/08 Posts: 65 Loc: Aberdeen	There is a setting in certain versions of IE8 that will actually do the IE7 emulation on it's own when it encounters certain websites. It seems to work for some but not for others. _________________________ WildWashington.com Mindraven - Hosting & IT Consulting

funkycamper Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/08/08 Posts: 4992	Odd. I got a new computer a couple weeks back with Windows 7. Ever since, I have to use IE in order to do anything on Facebook. My beloved Chrome doesn't work there. But that's the only website where I've had problems with Chrome. And only since I've moved to 7. What's up with that? _________________________ "If a 'right' exists for me, but not for thee, then it's not a right but a privilege.' - Fred Clark

Rick journeyman Registered: 07/08/08 Posts: 65 Loc: Aberdeen	You're not alone on that. Quite a few people have issues with chrome on facebook, where links don't work, feeds don't update, etc. Don't think anyone has found the common factor in why it works for some and not the other. Since it's only been a couple weeks since you got your computer, I assume your running the latest version of chrome? _________________________ WildWashington.com Mindraven - Hosting & IT Consulting
