Missing letters when typing

[WA Toffee]

This has been raised before, but quite often when I type and look up at the screen to see what I have written, several of the characters are missing. It only ever happens on this forum since the change a couple of months back. I think a couple of other users had this issue too but not sure if it was resolved for some browsers?
Is there anything that can be done about this?

I don't recall the issue you've mentioned.

From the below comment;

I was wondering why the forum wasn't running smoothly today - scroll down and it takes a few seconds for the screen to move in a very stuttering manner.

Don't like it.

I'm assuming your on an old Internet Explorer?

Your right there. As title, it can't be reproduced.

The background image stutters on his browser to, really indicates a really old browser. Just installed on user agent so when the WA logs in I'll be able to see what he's browsing with an look to reproduce.

People actually use IE? I thought that was just one of those urban legends.

I mentioned a while ago in the general feedback thread, a couple of others said they had the same issue.
On my ipod at the moment and it works fine, will check what version of IE it is on my computer when I go into work tomorrow

Back at work and it says I am on IE version 8.0.7601.17514 - Don't blame me, it is a work computer and I have no say in the matter

Cheers mate, as expected really.

That was developed in 2008, and 5/6 years is an eternity when it comes to internet browsers - Microsoft themselves don't even support that browser any longer.

In the year prior moving to this forum, less than 1% of our traffic used IE8 and we really need to evolve and move on as the internet progresses and the standard editor on here is jquery and no bolt on would allow it to work as it should with IE8.

Shouldn't show favoritism but you've been here since day 1 so I'd really have liked to have sorted but other than hurling abuse at your work IT, there's nothing I can do.
