Minor Problem with Attachment Menus on IE

We've been made aware of a small problem with the new version that affects IE users. Note that the popup menu on attachments was changed in 6.5 so that it requires a right-click to activate (rather than being activated automatically by hovering the mouse over it).

The problem is that on IE, if you have an attachment down the page so that you have to scroll to see it, and right click on the attachment, you won't see the popup menu. It is actually there but in the wrong place - scroll back up to the top of the page and you'll see it there. Essentially IE is putting the menu in the right place, but ignoring the fact that the page is scrolled.

We'll get this fixed up for the next patch release, but just wanted to let people know now...

We've just released version 6.4 of both ProjectForum and CourseForum, which can be obtained as usual from our website. Hosted sites have also been updated.

This release packs a lot of changes into it, particularly on the content management and user interface sides, including a few popular requests. Visit our changes page to get the full scoop on what we've changed.

Another useful article by Pancho Castano. Good as an introduction to people who think that emailing Microsoft Word documents around is necessarily the best way to work.
