whilst typing into the box when I have a big quote the cursor area drops out of view but springs backeach time I hit a key , it is like typing blind , is this a bug ?

  Have you tried stretching out the comment box vertically down the page (by clicking/dragging the "dots" at the bottom of the box)?
  
  Also see (Admin's comments):
  
  "DEVELOPERS - Please make the REPLY box bigger!

  I don't have any dots to drag in the comment box , when I scroll to the end of multiple quotes and start typing it bounces back to the first quote , I will try a few other things like deleing some earlier quotes

  I don't think that is a bug. Is it springing back and forth, or just springing to where the cursor currently is? If it is the latter, that is expected behaviour for the comment box (In testing it right now, that is what I experienced).

  I can see the cursor flashing so I start typing then it scrolls down out of sight , another problem I get is when I click reply to a post I see the comment box for a second then it cancels out and I have to click the reply button again ...then it stays put

  I just tried it again , still the same, the cursor is out of sight at bottom of quotes whereas the box auto centres further up, each tap it flicks down briefly
  
  ALSO taking two attempts to finally type in the comment box

  Are you using the site in "Compatibility Mode"?
  
  If not, please can you try that?

  How Users Can Turn on Compatibility View

  Anyone using Internet Explorer 8 can turn on compatibility view by clicking on the button to the left of the refresh button in the address bar (it looks like a broken piece of paper). They can also force all websites to be viewed in compatibility view by choosing that in the settings. Or they can choose to enable compatibility view automatically for sites on the compatibility view list that is regularly updated by Microsoft.

  ...but not the issue with the "jumping caret" (text entry position), presumably.

  You're very welcome.
  
  I reported something similar previously:
  [ http://www.hotukdeals.com/feedback/bug-can-please-1131835?p=13847265 ]
  
  Jumpingphil has reported issues with text entry too:
  [ http://www.hotukdeals.com/feedback/hukd-bugs-glitches-727082?p=9095319 ]
  
  Both issues were restricted to Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 8.x, I believe.
