hey all, back again, and i have a wierd forum problem for you guys.

it's been happening quite a bit, but it's so situational.

ok so i will be just typing stuff into the little response box you get when you make a new thread or respond. usually it will be a nice and short response, but when i start to make a longer one, it gives you the little drag handles on the side.
then when i get the drag handels and keeps typing i ahve seen the issue do 2 different things now. it use to only do it at one forum i visit, here http://www.wethearmed.com , then it happened a few times here, http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/forums/show/108.page
-finally the problem, Blush when my post starts to get long, the drag handels will jump back up to the top so i am looking at the begining of the post. then if i type it will jump down and back up again.

then another similar thing started here, http://bfcforums.46.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=4

i could type and follow my message with out it jumping to the top, but anytime my mouse cursor left the typing box, it would jump to the top of the message again. and do so anytime the cursor was outside of the box.

whats going on?
Try updating your mouse's drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website, search for the model number that's most likely on the bottom of the mouse, download the latest driver, and install it. See if that helps.
i has a tough pad.....

edit, adn it does it on multiple computers
Well, for the touchpad, then. Also, if you've ever attached a mouse to the laptop, it may have auto-loaded a driver that is interfering with other drivers or software. If you have a wireless mouse that you're using by just plugging it in without installing the proper drivers, you could get the same problem if the computers are using the same operating system.
