Problem posting to forums with IE7

[UndrWatrDan]

I am having problems posting to forums using IE 7. When I click on "Post New Thread", I get the following message and no editing ability with just blank space below.

Post New Thread
Forum: Trips and Marketplace: Shore based group trips and Dive Trips

If I use Firefox, I can post with no problem. I have attached a screenshot of what I get with IE 7.




Thanks

There's an incompatibility issue (obviously) with the board and IE7. I'm not sure if it's just SB or all .vBulletin 4.1 (the forum s/w) installations.

We suggest using IE8 or above, Firefox 3.x or above or Chrome. There also seems to be issues with Firefox 2.0.

At the very bottom of the screen is there a horizontal scroll bar in IE7? If so you may find the Post New button about 1/2 way in the middle of the "2nd" screen. Obviously not a workable solution. Most users who have upgraded to IE8 seem to have no issues.

I don't have IE7 but IE8 works for me correctly on an XP machine. IIRC it really is almost functionally the same.

Thanks. I don't have an option to use IE8 on my work computer, so will use Firefox until the issue is resolved or we finally catch up with the rest of the world!
