Hi all,
I just updated to IE8 yesterday and the first thing I notices is when I click the "quick reply" button at the bottom of a post it links to the "advanced" screen instead of allowing access to the small "quick reply" box at the bottom of every thread.
Anybody have a fix for this?
Thanks,
Jason

Click the "Post Reply" button at the top or bottom of the thread. That will put the cursor in the Quick Reply box.

Ah, I see what you mean. Those boxes in the posts work OK for me. Could be a browser issue or something.

I did some reading on IE8 and they have a compatible list and the ability to make IE8 act like IE7 on web sites. Have you read the microsoft (propaganda ;) did I say that) web page on it?

ahhh... there it is Bob_VT. Good catch. If anybody else is having the same problem after they upgrade just click the button that looks like a torn piece of paper just to the right of the address bar. It's labeled the "compatibillity view" button.
