    Whilst in a thread and I go to the 'Quick reply' and click on it, the screen goes black, but NOT when I use the 'Post reply' method.


    LOTS of trouble with both Firefox and IE lately.

    Any ideas. Thanks.

    Have you tried the usual clear cookies, history etc and then shut down/restart the computer, virus/spyware checks and updated both to the latest versions?

    Type 'about:crashes' in the Firefox url bar and press Enter. Should show a list of crash reports that might give a clue.

    Download Ccleaner and run it, fixes lots of silly problems for me

    Checked and no problem with Firefox, but after using CCleaner, the problem is still in IE.

    Everything is on Auto Update.

    Not all that keen on Chrome.

    Try a system restore if possible and roll back your pc to an earlier date when it was working ok

    Its an HTML5 issue from what I know of it, specifically related to IE10, I have yet to encounter it in 8 or 9. I have also witnessed in in other browsers as well, but I believe that issue was resolved by the developer of that browser

    Not specifically related to IE10, it also happens in IE9.

    Please click the Compatibility View button to the right of the address bar and enjoy your flight with SilverStackers ;)
