2015-10-06T02:24:56+00:00 My IE11 in windows 7 is now hiding as well as those in windows 8. I was able to successfully fix it with the mystyle.css script. Thanks for posting that fix.

2015-07-11T00:18:47+00:00 IT HAPPENS TO ME ON INTERNET EXPLORER. IT IS VERY AGGRAVATING! I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED SOON. PLEASE LET US KNOW OF ANY UPDATES REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
This action, the disappearing scroll bar when viewing your MSM homepage, is by design. It is simply another lame attempt by Microsoft to get you to click on one of the ads beneath the scroll bar. It helps up their click count. A very good reason not to use MSN. Internet explorer does a lot of the same kind of tricks to get you to go to BING when you didn't need or want to.

2015-07-07T12:55:05+00:00 I also find this very annoying. This is also the default behavior for windows 10. I've been trying to find a way to send feedback to Microsoft about this. I understand this is an asthenic design to the UI, but it is annoying to a power user and probably very confusing to a first time user. I think at least there should be setting to turn off this behavior. I've looked around and can't find one.
