YBW screen settings help wanted

[BartW]

I can't post new threats nor posting in existing threats from my laptop,
as the text area is missing in the threat composing page,

no white area to type a text
here is a print screen;

from another computer it works all normall,
maybe a silly setting that I missed,
or something todo with Internet Explorer?

thanks for advice,

I have the same with my laptop Bart. Started about a week ago. I have not changed the settings on the laptop, and thought it was a security change from the IT dept at work. I run W7 but can't remember the IE level. No problem with the iPad.

Have you tried the alternative editors?

• Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
• Basic Editor - A simple text box
• Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls

Hi rafiki, how did you cure the problem finally, mine disappeared at a certain moment,
all summer on different locations (different internet connections) I didn't have the problem,
and now that I'm back home I have the problem again on my laptop
here I have to post from a "External Desctop" link on the company server
or use another computer

at that time I tried different settings on the forum program,
but nothing helped,
had the feeling it has something to do with my laptop and the local internet connection

I don't know whether this will help or not, I use IE 11, If I click on compatability view, I cannot post, it is grayed out. I have to remove compatability view (top right hand corner cog wheel) then I can post as normal.

Bart, I generally use my iPad, and all ok with this. From my Microsoft laptop, I have the same problems as you. In fact I cannot make new PM's either. I will try the Davys solution too.

Bart, I am NOT laughing at you, but I love your accidental mis-spelling. Somehow in the forum context it is much better than the proper word

I learned not to worry about my spelling mistakes, because
imo some of the native scottisch or even english mates on here, are worse then me

I've never been good in languages,
it seems hard for me to remember correct spelling despite all the reading exercise here.
I'm really jalous of MapisM fe, he's so good at that

The first thing to blame whenever you have a problem with the web is ****ing Internet Explorer
Most of the time, all other browsers work fine
IE isn't even compatible with itself!!

I have to use IE but whenever I have a problem switching to Firefox usually fixes it.
