Thanks Cliffy!

LD:
I was thinking maybe a multi-column dropdown might be better, that way all sub-menus are displayed, no need to follow the arrow to the next sub-menu, like this:

sound better?

Then does it start typing over text you already wrote? I'm having trouble visualizing the effect. Can you do a screen shot? Also, what browser, version, and platform do you use (e.g. Firefox 5.1, Windows 7)?
I think you have the general idea of my problem. Unfortunately I don't think a screen shot would do it justice. It doesn't start typing over the text I've already written, I can certainly continue typing. However what it does do is scroll the box back up to the top so I can't see what I'm typing without scrolling back down. Then every single character I type it does this so I'm basically scrolling down every single time I type something if I want to see what I'm typing. I'm using Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. I haven't tried this on my home computer since you update the layout so I don't know if that would work differently since I use Firefox on there. Hope that helps.

LD, Is this any better? Still got some minor issues with font size differences between the forum and general site...but is the usability better now?

Blackjack - does this take care of the scrolling issue?

I'm having the same problem, although I will say it does seem to have been fixed a little. Maybe I can articulate my problem better to Ben and he can explain it to you. I just think it would be easier if you could understand my issue and I can't explain well enough via text.
