I have Windows 7 and the latest version of Internet Explorer on some of my family's computers.
I can read Trains.com forums but cannot reply to posts on those machines. If I copy a quote into the reply frame, I cannot edit or type over it. If I type in a reply in the reply frame or type my reply in another application (Notepad, Wordpad, Word) and try and paste a reply as text into the reply frame the forum does not recognize the reply and gives me an error message that I must enter a reply.
If I go to another machine without Windows 7 and an older version of IE, I have no problems posting.
Any suggestions on how to get Windows 7, IE and Trains.com to play well together?

Click that. You will only have to do it once.

Worked great, thanks for the advice!!!
Don't you hate the phrase "New and Improved"?
Just wondering if you were having issues with IE8 or not as I hear various folks with IE8 having strange issues on forum sites...

Thanks, I needed that also.

IE9 is no cloud 9. The more I used it the more problems I had kept cropping up so went back to 7.

Stay away from MS I.E.
Download "Firefox" or "Crome".
I really like Firefox and it is free.
