I don't know what the deal is....... it problay has something to do with the adds in the side bar........ but I am well and truly sick and tyre of the freaky behaviour of the posting window.

You can be typing away and all of a sudden nothing...( there it just happened) until i use the mouse to click back in the window.>:(
Then there is abdolutly no function of the delete key...unless you highlight a section & delete that.... and most typing products allow this to remove charaters ahead of the cursour.

Worst of all is the absolutly infuriating behaviour of the backspace key.>:( >:( >:(

Some times it will function as normal but on the odd ocasion..........at the most infuriating time it will back the window into the previous screen and will completly wipe all text that has been typed.:huh2: :confused: >:(

so you can be posting away for 10 miniutes and hit the backspace key to correct a spelling mistake and ......... poffff all gone....... start again.:wut:

There has .....(that thing has happened again>:( ).....this freaky behaviour is an absolute pain in the backside....... there has to be a better option.

I have a long association with another buliten board that uses the same software and there is no sign of this problem there.

Can this be fixed please.
This is not isolated........ I would expect some sort of problem like this almost every single post..........AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH:wut: :wut: :wut:

cheers

If I'm typing something fairly long I hit control and c after each paragraph and save all of what I have done, saves going through all that crap again.

I think the boss (Ausfish) has said it numerous times in here.

Update your browser as this is usually caused by an out of date browser.

Yes, it has been brought up a few times, just upgrade your browser. Better still, use Firefox/Mozilla, it is faster than IE. http://www.getfirefox.com

If it's a big post, why not write it out in notepad or word. Then just copy and paste into the thread window. Too easy and you lose nothing.

Why not use Firefox for your main web surfing, Ausfish etc, and then use Internet Exploder when you have to for work.

Every now and then I find some web pages will not load in Firefox so I just open up IE and use it just for those pages.

I use firefox and the IE plugin so i can view the problem page as if it were in normal IE.

Agreed, I have used firefox for years. It's way better than IE. Not often these days i have to open up IE for anything.
