Several idiocyncrasies have poped up that are driving me to drink.
1.) When I am REPLYING or STARTING a GBO thread and fill in the initial white space with text, the next line of text that will wrap below the green border (at least that is the border color on my PC), a line of text that should remain visible above the border as I type, doesn't. It immediately "hides" below the border and every letter I type continues to "raise" the text line momentarily above the border then it "hides" below again. It is almost as if I am "restricted" to the original white space. Imagine typing, such that before every typed letter and after typing a letter you are BLIND, but momentarily, during the act of typing the letter, everything is visible above the border. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......interesting, now it isn't doing it in this Forum or on this thread, but it was in the NEF Handi Forum. Stupid intermittent PC.
2.) On this next one I suspect the security setting is too high. When I click on a hyperlink in a thread, a *.jpg, video, or any hot link I get NOTHING, zilch, nada. My old PC, probably operating on IE 5.0 (+/-), would just navigate to the link.
I suspect some settings have changed in the new PC. I am running IE 8.0. It is very frustrating and I am certain it is a couple of Global toggles that needs to be turned on or off, but I don't know which ones.
