Smearing reply

[Guest Bill Steamshovel]

I haven't tried other browsers yet, but I've noticed with IE 6 when you make a reply or a new topic and scroll down, the page looks like it smears. It sorts itself out after you leave it for a little bit, but its just freaky. Happen to anyone else

Yes I get that as well. From what I can tell its the loading of the "Topic Review" window in an IFRAME that causes it. Mostley when the topic gets longer. It will cause this "smearing" as you described it effect then all of a sudden the page pops up like normal.

 

I've seen it on many other sites to.

 

Since an IFRAME is basically opening another browser window inside the current page some sort of strange delay is cause due to the amount data it needs to display. It only affect IE6 because IE is the only browser that supports IFRAMES.

 

To avoid it just wait until to page loads before you start scrolling.

Yes, I get this too, and if I start typing in the reply box without waiting for it to clear up, I won't see my text

But all is well after it has loaded and my text is there - I just have to fix the spelling errors after that then
