I downloaded this about 2wks ago, and have noticed a few difficulties.
When you try to add to a thread or post, it will only let you type so much them the box jumps up and down.
Someone else on gr finding the same prob. Posted on general also.

Hi Rose. Thanks. I thought it was just my imagination, but when another member said she was having probs, and thought it was because of this, I knew it just wasn't me. I had 6 before, but am now away to delete it, as I have already lost some things off my laptop.

I have been using Explorer8 for a long time and yes, I do have that 'jumping', but it was happening before I downloaded Explorer. I have had no problems with it at all.
