    Posting to WordPress problem

    When working within the posting box provided in Wordpress it continually jumps back to the top of the posting area, how can I stalise this sothat it remains at the point where I am working?
    This is particularly annoying when trying to select a few words somewhere in the middle of the text which I want to use as a text link... these do not remain selected when the post automatically goes to the top of the page, consequently I am unable to add the links..
    What is the remdy here please?
    Thank you

    I don't know what the reason can be. It's very strange.

    The only thing I can think of is the auto save feature in
    WordPress. By default, it auto saves every 60 seconds. It does it
    in the background so you don't even "feel" it.

    But the problem you are describing should not be caused by
    the auto save feature which for some folks has acted a little strange
    with different symptoms, not the one you are stating.

    In any case, not knowing what the reason is, the next best thing
    is a shot in the dark.

    If it works, OK it works. If it doesn't, then a General may have the
    right and straightforward solution to your problem.

    A shot in the dark
    Using your FTP, make a temp directory on your hard disk,
    anywhere, but remember where.

    Copy wp-config.php file from the root directory of your blog over
    to your PC hard disk in your just created temp.

    Save it by making a copy some place where you can access it easily.
    Remember where you save it. This copy is for the time when something
    goes wrong and you need to bring the server side wp-config.php back
    to the original configuration.

    Now open the temp directory copy of wp-config.php in MS notepad.

    Go through the auto save exercise here.

    After you make the change, replace your wp-config.php on your
    server.

    If it works and solves your problem and I have no idea why it would work,
    you are in business.

    If not, then you can always replace your wp-config.php on your
    server with the saved original file.

    Like I said in the beginning, it's a shot in the dark. It cannot be the
    real solution. I hope generals and more experienced folks would have the
    straightforward solution.
