Just a small issue,  I have noticed that when I post a new message, if I type anything into the Subject field I cannot then type anything into the message field.  The cursor disappears from the message field and it becomes read only.   If I type into the message field first, I can then type a subject (and then the message field gets disabled).

Am using Win 8.1 (so may just be browser related).

It could be browser related and the fact we have just introduced a new rich text editor today. In this case I suggest you either switch to Chrome or disable the editor via Personal Profile.

You could of course do some testing and perchance fix the issue :) Or is the answer to everything these days 'switch to chrome' - which by the way I have no intention of doing.

I shall just have to remember in 8.1 to write my posts backwards - .dnuorakrow elbatius a si em ot hcihw :)

Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 are a preview release. Not everything works with the new browser and Microsoft is still working on it. This makes anything on IE11 a moving target. I am not chasing moving targets at the moment.
