IE8: Typing walls of text on the Post box area on the reply to post page problem

My system has just been forced updated by Windows update to use IE8 from IE7, as I told you guys in the past, although FireFox is absoloutely miles better than this piece of crap Internet Explorer I am forced to rely on it as whenever I install Firefox onto my rig here it usually acts up & cause several problems, like FireFox being unstable crashing often, or for some strange reason it messes with AVG dis-abling some of AVG's elements.

Anyway since I'm forced to use IE8 I have no choice but to live with it. Now things look a bit aesthetically good as I can now once again see winterreises's fantastic flash animated ads for RomUlation (I can see them before when I was using Firefox). All seems fine except I noticed that when I have to type in huge walls of text & the text exceeds the "post area's" space causing a scroll bar to appear that things get hairy. Say I'm at the very end of the long wall of text & continue typing something funky & annoying occurs, the scroll bar resets & returns at the very top making what I've been typing at the very bottom un-accesible, that is until I lower the scroll bar to expose the very bottom of the wall of text. Then as I resume typing the scroll bar again climbs up placing my location at the bottom un-accesible again. It's extremely annoying as I'm typing blind, I can't see what I wrote until I physically lower the page. And it seems pressing enter to move a line lower is making things worse as that instantly lifts the scroll bar to the very top of the wall of text

How can I go about remedying this? And if you're asking, it's only here at RomUlation I'm experiencing this.

EDIT:

Oops! Sorry to shoot the gun like that, I just checked, I went to two other sites I frequent that uses SMF (the forums for Bangu Bang Mania! & RHDN's forums) & it seems IE8 has issues with forums using SMF, WTH? ???

However, forums that uses vbulletin aren't affected *grumbles* damn, IE8

I'll try Google Chrome thanks winter

Windows finally released a sort of fix for this problem of mine. There's this IE8 update that allows IE8 to recognize site pages that uses old scripts & runs pages using them via a "compatibility" view mode setting. Once you tick on this option in IE8's tool menu it will adjust itself so it can run sites like RomUlation's forums smoothly.

I used to use google chrome, but for some reason whenever I tried to watch things on youtube it was all glitchy and slow... so i went back to IE8, and it's all working fine... weird
