Okay, I often highlight parts of peoples posts so I can copy and thus quote them in my own post. However, for some reason, I'm currently having trouble. Whenever I try to highlight anything, it gets from where I highlighted, to the very bottom of the post, and I have no control over how much highlighting there is. This is really pissing me off. Is anyone else having this problem, and can it be fixed? =/

Yeah. I should probably use FireFox. It is more secure, I guess. But to be honest, I find IE so much simpler.

Was there any word on trying to solve it? =/

Yes? No? MAYBE!?!?!

Just wondering as it's beginning to piss me off. I could swap to FireFox I guess, but just trying to find out if it can be solved first.

Have you tried going to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and downloading the latest patches and versions for IE?

I don't get the problem you speak of, but with older versions of firefox I had other problems. Getting a newer version got rid of the problems.

Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,  7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

No the problem affects all IE, I have to use firefox everytime I want to copy and paste anything out of a post.  I assume Silverdawn will fix it when he gets back.

Yeah, this problem has been bugging me for quite a while too.  I've looked at the HTML source code and I don't see a clear reason for why it's doing that, but I assume it either has something to do with the way the DIV tags are used or the .highlight{} section in the forum's CSS file.  The reason I like to highlight text is because I use it to follow along when I read posts so that I don't accidentally skip a line or read a line twice.  By the way, I use IE 6.0 if this helps.  It's not a major issue, but if this could be fixed, I'd be very pleased.

Err, I don't think it used to do this before either.  I know I'm not a frequent poster here, but as I recall, this problem arose about up month ago during one of the site updates.

Your right it was when the site was changed, and it is only for IE.

No, it was with this new layout. Check the date of my first post. =)



Wait...I thought B.C was meant to be based on when Jesus was born? =/
