Problems with reply box

[*MamaJen*]

I keep on having this really annoying thing happen when I'm trying to type replies. Basically, the cursor gets stuck, and I can't type. When I go to source, it's showing that it inserted a couple of HTML paragraph symbols into the text. I have to delete those before I can type. In general, the site still just seems so buggy. It's noticeably, significantly slower than it was before the redesign. And those enormous text boxes, where each post takes up half the computer screen, make it hard to read threads without feeling seasick. I'm trying to be patient with the change, and there are some good new features. But honestly, if I was the one who paid the company that did the redesign, I don't think I'd feel like I got my money's worth.

Hi Jen.

It would help to have your browser and OS and their versions so we have as much information as possible to investigate any problems you have.

The cursor issue is a known bug with some browsers. We have the issue ticketed and hope that either See if this works for you http://www.mothering.com/community/forum/thread/1279212/issues-typing-up-new-thread#post_16047748

We have found bugs and they are all being worked on. We'll continue to work on getting things working and fine-tuned.

The slowness is also being addressed. It has improved but there is still some sporadic slowness and we hope to see that resolved soon. We just need to pinpoint where the slow loading is occurring. Some find it in specific areas on the site and at certain times. When you report an issue it helps to have more details so we can check the same on our multiple computers and browsers and see why it is happening.

I'm sorry the post box size interferes with your reading comfort. Have you explored the "Preferences" available to you?
