Jimer Lins Gallente Noir.	Posted - 2009.03.19 19:19:00 - [1] When using IE8 (just released today) with the EVE forums, if you quote a post or write one that takes up more lines than the edit text box, each keypress causes the textbox to "hop" back to the top after briefly showing the key typed. Seems to be trying to scroll the textbox up, but each keypress causes it to snap down to show what you're typing, then some script causes it to snap back up. CCP, you aware of this? My suggestion would be to adjust the limitText function, or maybe to remove the onKeyUp() call on the form edit box that invokes limitText(). Corp killboard-How to Kill Logoffskis

TBH i have no idea why people even bother using IE these days its a pile of ****e :) Actually, IE8 passes the ACID2 test. It doesn't pass ACID3, but neither does FF. It's also a lot faster to render the EVE forums than IE7 or FF from what I'm experiencing. Give it a try, you might be surprised at how well it works. I'm enjoying it.

It's still an issue that CCP will need to resolve. Many will use IE8 to access their forums. Corp killboard-How to Kill Logoffskis

Vincent Gaines Avis de Captura	Posted - 2009.03.19 20:26:00 - [12] Considering IE8s "features" include: Download acceleration Offsite/integrated preloading Both of which are horribly vulnerable to attack, stick with FF It's also MS's last version, as if they're gonna give a damn about updating it. Good luck, sir.

Reangorette Bianie	Posted - 2009.03.19 21:15:00 - [15] I had IE8 installed and had so many problems with so many websites that after one week I uninstalled it. I'm back to IE 7.

I'm back to IE 7. I think that's one of the symptoms of beta software. He's using the finalized version that was released today. Either way...I <3 Chrome.

This is happening with a lot of other forums for me as well, not just Eve-O. Apparently Microsoft are aware of the issue, so a fix should be available with the release of Internet Explorer 47. \o/ EON FICTION WRITER OF THE YEAR! \o/ >>> THE LIFE OF AN OUTLAW <<<

Tippia Raddick Explorations BlackWater.	Posted - 2009.03.20 09:56:00 - [20] Opera ftw. Microsoft hasn't produced a useful, working browser since IE5 (and the only useful part there was XMLHttpRequest and the birth of Ajax) — that was 10 years ago. They are still far behind in terms of functionality, and still stick to an inherently unsafe way of handling computer-internet interaction. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in =v=… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki
Burzon Fairlight Corp FOUNDATI0N	Posted - 2009.03.20 10:07:00 - [21] Hehe, you got to love religious Microsoft bashing because being the minority is being the good guys. Anyone cared to look at the latest security fixes and bug report statistics lately ? Doesn¦t look good for Firefox or some others .... At the end of the day it all comes down to what you like and what you need. Never make the mistake of mixing consumers with techies, like most of the EVE gamers are, the priorities for both are way different.

I guess no one bothered to fix it.
Yaggher Xanuben Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2009.03.20 10:48:00 - [25] I would kill to get all the people on this planet to only use one and the same browser... be it whatever, IE or FF or Chrome... In developers point of view, that would be heavenly.
Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2009.03.20 11:00:00 - [26] Even better, have every browser simply be standards compliant. It would also be nice if there was some kind of agreement between all the browser makers to adopt a particular standards final draft completely, and at the same time. "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."
Furb Killer Gallente	Posted - 2009.03.20 11:08:00 - [27] ACID test is most useless thing ever. It is more whining about small stuff then checking if a browser follows the important standards. Browsers should show a correct coded page all the same, but in acid they are testing how if it shows errors in the code the correct way. --------------------------------------------- Originally by: Neth'Rae Military experts are calling this a troll.

Doesn¦t look good for Firefox or some others .... Ubuh. Now look at how long the average Firefox vulnerability stays open and how long it takes until it is patched. Doesn't look so good for IE now.
Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.03.20 11:55:00 - [30] Dunno I dont let my coworkers hook thier ipods to charge on my computer anymore (odd out of 200ish people and Im like one of four folks to bring a laptop compliant at the worksite) because most of the time I get more viruses than music from it :( I just find it funny there are people who think the products they support are entirely safe from anything, thing is if there is a will there is a way to that end no explorer or antivirus is going to entirely save you from a very determined underminder. Just that IE explorer has the problem of being popular, its an attention sponge that attracts all sorts of shady people. If either other web browser was as widely as popular they too would suffer from constant security hole poking as well. Features however are something the to upspark compitition and create a persistent drive for better software, If IE explorer was the only explorer in existence we probably never get to see tabbed browsing thats now widely popular in most browsers. ============= Pre Order your Sisters of Eve ship today
