Using Internet Explorer 8 on here Website Support/Feedback Forum

I have a problem when using the new Internet Explorer 8 to log in & make posts on here.

What happens is when I go into log in and put in my name ( bluesky ) it is printed in white making it almost invisible to the eye.

When I jump to the next box to enter my password ….it changes colour to black but then when I enter my password it also decides to be almost invisible in white. When I click on log in then the password changes to black

When I go to make a post like this…..when I go to make the title heading ( under topic name ) my words are all in this almost invisible white colour but as soon as I come to this section they appear in black. If I go back & click on topic name again it goes back into white.

My question is ….Is it something I need to change……The log in & topic name was working fine when I used Internet Explorer 6

I don't have this problem when I log into other forums

Can you help me so I can see more easily what I am typing

thanks  …bluesky
