 * Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be
   able to offer much in the way of specific help.

 * The problem occurs on my front page:
 * [http://www.thegrandparentsblog.com/](http://www.thegrandparentsblog.com/)
 * Scroll down to “Read more about Volcanic Eruptions ….” and try to click on the
   more line. On my browser it jumps about and is hard to nail. It may be my IE 
   browser (IE8) or it may be my word press settings.

 * Works fine here, i’d guess it’s your browser, or a combination of the CSS applied
   to that link and your particular browser. It does not bounce around in Firefox
   though… 🙂
 * Also tested in IE7, and the link works just the same as in Firefox, ie. no bouncing/
   moving.

 * Thanks, I suspected it might be IE9, also thanks for the tip re providing more
   info in future regarding issues.

 * The reason the cursor jumps around is because the code is wrong. Look:
 *     ```
       <p><a href="http://www.thegrandparentsblog.com/volcanic-eruptions-and-other-things/#more-422" class="more-link"></p>
       <p>Read the rest of “Volcanic Eruptions &ndash; and other things” &raquo;</a></p>
       ```
   
 * Whoever made the theme has the URL in a paragraph and then the link text in a
   separate paragraph. It should be:
 * `<p><a href="http://www.thegrandparentsblog.com/volcanic-eruptions-and-other-
   things/#more-422" class="more-link">Read the rest of “Volcanic Eruptions &ndash;
   and other things” &raquo;</a></p>`
 * Just edit that bit in the index.php file of the theme and the jumping will stop.

 * Many thanks, your fix worked – it has bugged me for some time – roughly since
   I switched to IE8. Thanks again for the help.
