When I am typing to post a thread, I have to type *really* slowly otherwise the text box drops characters. It is so horrible frustrating how slow I have to type.

Anyone else have this issue?

  • Blame IE

We've had some detailed posts in the past putting the blame on IE's compatibility issues and it not being something wrong on the forum's end.

Don't get me wrong as an ex-web dev i know where to blame IE. Here I will admit it is not the browsers fault, it is actually the softwares fault. I sent Niko a PM about a fix for it sometime ago (well to at least fix quoting) he said thanks and well I have no idea if it got implemented or not as that would take looking at the raw .php files.

Ok so it looks like compatibility mode at least for IE11 doesn't work, on the flipside i wont be able to test IE12 for a few days yet as I have other things to take care of first.

Same thing you have to do in order to quote, works to get rid of the typing lag. Toggle the editing mode(flip the light switch in top left corner of the reply editor.)
