Sometimes while I am typing the page jumps around and I lose the place I was just typing on. 

 Also I have written out a response and when I submit, the page it takes me to says it won't allow me to submit a blank page.  So I have to rewrite everything again

The last problem I am having is I will quote someone and type a response and submit, but when I check, there will be only the quote and no response that I wrote.  So I have to rewrite everything again.

Be sure to check the available times for Technical Help. I'm on central time, so I don't know when they can help me.

It's getting very irritating.  As time goes by it is happening more and more frequently.  I have to rewrite my post 1 out of five times and the page jumps everytime I am writing a post, it just did it while writing this.

So far these two problems have almost completely stopped
 

"1. I have written out a response and when I submit, the page it takes me to says it won't allow me to submit a blank page.  So I have to rewrite everything again.
2.The last problem I am having is I will quote someone and type a response and submit, but when I check, there will be only the quote and no response that I wrote.  So I have to rewrite everything again."

 

...But the page still jumps around constantly when I am writing... it is getting very frustratimg.

Yeah, both these VERY annoying glitches have been going on for at least a week now. Been copying my messages most of the time before I submit it so dont have to retype it.

Hm, sometimes when I try to Quick Reply, the Submit button won't work, like it's just a image, not a button. Then I copy the text, reload the page and paste the text into a new Quick Reply and it works.

I'm having issues with responses mostly. Almost every time I type in my response and hit the return/enter key for a new paragraph it must not register it, because most of the time I go to preview it, it's all one long paragraph even though I know I hit return for a new paragraph. And when I go to fix it I have to enter asterix (or possibly some other stuff) to make it register a new paragraph.

If you mean, "does the page jump around while I type?"  Yes, usually it does.  It jumps around and sometimes I can't get it to submit what I am typing.

As I have turned off the WYSIWYG editor completely due to issues with the WYSIWYG editor, the page loads very quickly. I'm just saying that in case you were talking to me as well...

That sounds like it could be a good fix.  How do you turn off the WYSIWYG editor?

It is a good fix if you wish to not use the editor at all.... But I mean is anyone intended on fixing this glitch or what? There hasent been any responses from tech it seems and that is rather frustrating... I mean it isent exactly a fix to turn off the editor completly when some people still actually want to use it...

Click on prefs and then on the forums tab. Just above the box where you put your sig in is a drop down box that says Use WYSIWYG Editor to the left of it, just select No and hit Apply Changes. That'll get rid of the editor for you. Just as long as you know the codes to put in yourself (ie  )

I agree, it is ridiculous that tech hasn't responded yet.  I posted this thread three weeks ago.  Oh well, what are you gonna do?

Customer Service is a direct line; this is not. Here you kinda just have to hope that a tech will see it.

That said, I have this problem a lot, and it's very frustrating... the page shouldn't automatically refresh just to finish loading one image. :|

It looks like there was an update to the site but it didn't fix any of the problems we have mentioned, which is unfortunate.

It's been a little over a month now and it's still happening. I am pretty sure the page fully loaded(jumped around) before I submitted my message.

The quoting glitch needs to be addressed as soon as possible. If somebody quotes somebody and adds some text it will sometimes discard their text and it will look like the person has just quoted someone without adding anything to the conversation. This can then be reported as "Disruptive posting" because the person has not added anything to the conversation. Those who did add information could get moderated because of this glitch removing their response and just having the quote on its own.Thorpe89
It really is getting terrible. I am surprised this problem hasn't been fixed. I also keep hearing complaints from users that quick quote and then get modded because their response didn't appear.
