What I'm finding is the pages don't centre properly,  I hit reply and the reply box is off the page and I have to scroll up to access it, too many smilies perhaps?

Also when I clicked the link in my email to take it to the next reply after my post in this thread, the page didn't open at the reply after mine like it's supposed to, I had to scroll the page down to read it.

As mentioned previously, when I reply to this, my reply won't be in the centre of the page, I'll have to scroll the page down to see it.

This reply worked fine but when I did my last reply, the next page went to the bottom of my signature.

Am using PC.

Edit:

Just worked fine but when I hit modify to do this edit I had to scroll up.

Please check that one.

It could be because you have changed the default setting on the number of post etc to be displayed.  Change it back to the default setting and see if that makes a difference

I haven't changed that setting, but I get the same problem. (Firefox 15.0.1.)

I'll have to go test it in Firefox.   But not tonight.  It's fine on Chrome.  Will look at at during the working week and report back

I'm using Chrome but what just happened, when I hit quote it now goes into Quick Reply.

Can I change that back?

Edit: Now the replies work good but 'modify' still needs to centre properly.

Up in the very top right hand corner next to the "NSW Corvettes Unlimited Car Club Inc" there is a white arrow.  This collapses the header.  Default is arrow pointing up.  If it is pointing down that may cause the issue.  I just  tested with it pointing down and had to scroll up a little but not much.

If you don't want the quote to appear in the quick reply, collapse the quick reply first.  If you forget to do so, once it goes into the quick reply, just click the preview button and the preview will show up at the top and the advance reply field will be open underneath

Not much help, most is now working okay, 'modify' still needs adjustment and I don't like this 'quick reply' when I hit 'quote'.

Could be there are too many smilies pushing the reply box down, could we have them to the side or underneath the post button?

Most replies don't have many smilies anyway and only used minimally.

Most replies don't have many smilies.

I can put more of the smilies into the "more" window and less on the main window but would like for the clubs committee to be back on deck for me to check with before doing that.  Most are up at Bathurst at the moment.

PS you can turn the quick reply off by default so you have to click it to open.  The setting is in looks and layout in your profile

No worries.

Done, now the page doesn't centre.

:(

Oh well, hopefully it will fix some time down the track.

I should mention that I have Ad Blocker installed.

When I hit 'quote' I get the bottom of the smiles at the bottom of my page so I have to scroll up to type any text into the reply box.

Same thing when I hit 'modify' and my avatar header has disappeared too so it's in its reduced form.

I don't have an advanced reply field.

Ahhh the penny may have just drooped for me. Steph if memory recalls you have the same issue on MOCA.  Guys, go into your computer control panel and let me know what you have your screen width set to please.

Don't blame you there gtc. Can you see Scott's ad at the bottom?

The advance reply field is the one where all the smilies are Steph

Maybe i should refer to it as just the reply field and the other the quick reply field.  My bad
