CoastersRZ Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Is this in the fast reply window or when you click on the "Add Reply" button and are writing a response there? I personally have not encountered that problem yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 ^It's in the Fast Reply, and when I click the Add Reply button, and when I edit my signature. It would probably happen in PM's too, but I haven't tried that yet. Edit: I just tried the PM and it didn't happen there, probably because there's no toolbar in the pop up box that appears. But now, as I'm editing this post, the toolbars are covering up the first few lines of this post, instead of being in the middle of the text box. Ugh!

CoastersRZ Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 That is really odd, as I haven`t experienced that problem at all in any of the locations you mentioned. In any event, it is an issue that Dane would have to address and fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 But now, as I'm editing this post, the toolbars are covering up the first few lines of this post, instead of being in the middle of the text box. Ugh! I have this happening also...but only on one of the computers that I post from...the other one is fine? I can't figure out what the difference is between the two computers that is causing it.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'll have to try my home computer. The problem is, I do most of my KIC time at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Is anyone else experiencing this problem? When I type a reply, or when I edit my signature as I did the other day, the toolbars for font styles, alignment, emoticons, etc. appear in the middle of the text box, not at the top. It makes it very frustrating when I'm typing so much that when the text I'm typing gets to the middle of the box, I end up typing behind the toolbars and can't see what I'm typing. i'm having the same problem as you are, even when i click the reply button. Help! (This line is being tped behind the toolbars, so I cannot be held responsible for any possible misspelling! i'm having the same problem, even when i click on the reply button and i just had a message that says [#103128] The administrator has limited the number of new posts you can submit within a short time frame.

CoastersRZ Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That last error that you posted about is an attempt to keep people from spamming the forums. You have to wait a set amount of time after you make a post before you can post again. Again, I do not know about the incorrect location of the text attributes window appearing on top of the text box, as I haven`t seen that happen on my computer yet. It is a topic to be addressed to and by Dane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm having the same thing happen as well. I'll try to get a screenshot on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Here you go. I just typed numbers down the side and as you can see a large section of them are behind the formatting bar. Isn't a big deal if you only have a few lines but if you have a lot to type, or you're quoting someone then it gets in the way and you can't see what you're typing at all.

standbyme Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 And this is what I get on one of the computers that I use: As you can see the reply box is almost all covered up. I can not click in the little opening and start typing my reply...the only thing I can do is start typing...I am typing in the blind and can not add emoticons or make anything bold etc... Trying to include another posters quote is pretty much impossible because I don't know where I am typing. Replying to a PM is also the same...so I don't bother. As stated earlier, I don't know what is different about the 2 computers...both are using IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Maybe it's the difference between IE 7 and 8? I'm using IE 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just tested it on XP with IE8 and it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I use IE 7 here at work and getting those problems. I forget what I have at home, but I think it's IE 8 and I have the same problems there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Today at school, there were a couple times when the fast reply box was in the last post of a topic, and then the hearder bar was in its normal place. After I clicked in the reply box, everything went back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Lol, I guess it's not the IE version. I'm using IE7 at work and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I am having the same issue as you Gator and that others have mentioned. I am using IE8 and running Vista. Any fix yet for this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I am having the same issue with the toolbar being located in the middle of the reply box. Very, very frustrating. Is there not a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Still no fix on the forum issue. I have found this frustrating and am wondering if there is any known fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I tried finding the issue reported on the IPB website, but was unsuccessful in my search. Again, this is a question that needs to be addressed by Dane. I understand your frustrations with this issue, and hopefully Dane will be able to correct the problem as soon as possible.

Avatar Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I waited for almost a month before making a comment, as we have been told that the new skin is a work in progress which I do appreciate. I would like to request that the embedded links be set to be opened in a new window like it was before. This should be a quick fix. I at times like to open a link/article and leave it open so I can make a proper response but also so that I can go back later to reread. Thanks in advance.

Diamondback FOF Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Now, on school computers, the small (pre-opened) fast reply box covers part of the bottom of the screen, above where it should be (starts right below the last post and covers part of the page selectors, etc.). They run XP with IE, which is what I have at home, but I have it doesn't happen at home. When I click in the fast reply box, it opens how it should. It's kinda weird.

coaster_junky Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 i believe that i might have found a solution to the bar being placed in the middle of some user's text boxes. click "my settings" (avalible from your drop down bar in the top right corner of the page.) when in your settings, scroll down to where it says "Enable visual (RTE) editor?" and check the box beside it. after doing so click "save changes" at the bottom of the screen and the task bar should no longer be in the way at least it worked for me.

coaster_junky Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 okay, is there anyway to change the settings so you can view some of your first post? i kinda like being able to reflect back on the way that i started this site out acting and then think about all the things that i have done and learned to make myself more alert in the amusement park industry.

Skywriter Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm using Firefox and having no problems with the new Forum but when I visit a users profile and click to view topics or post that user has posted it looks like it is loading but nothing happens.
