Answerbank problem .... how strange this is.

[Ann]

On some threads particularly where there are adverts down the right hand side, the posts/answers lose the end of their sentences, the words are hidden under the adverts. It doesn't happen on all the posts, but its been like this since just before lunch. I have run a cleaning scan but it hasn't cleared. I'm using IE8 (i think its 8) Any ideas please, as its so annoying?

> Any ideas please

None which will please the Ed...

mmmmm

[Ann]

Is it to do with the adverts Mark? Does this happen to others then, its the first time I have encountered it.

[ummmm]

I think it happens when someone posts a long link.

[Ann]

It's particularly noticeable on this thread - can anyone else see the fault?

[ummmm]

Its fine for me because I don't have the ads but I think it was the link Jenna posted.

[pastafreak]

I have the ads....but not the problem....
I don't have IE8....maybe it's your browser.

[MarkRae]

Certainly, pretty much any browser is better than IE...

I've only got this on one recent thread, and I'm on IE9.........

I've noticed that this problem can occur in three situations:
- when posters have extremely long user names,
- when links addresses are too long (and for some reason the usual shortening of the link address hasn't occurred)
- when non-youtube links are entered in the youtube link box

I noticed a particular thread yesterday where most of the posts had missing line ends. Perhaps they didn't press "carriage return" (see other thread)

I haven't got this problem and am using Firefox, could it be something to do with IE8?
