cursor problem,,,board freezing???

[choppa]

now on a more serious note,,,,

in the last couple of weeks,,, i've been experiencing a small annoying problem

half way through typing a post,,the cursor dissappears,,, and leaves what you've typed up to the point of it disappearing,,, and i have to click back on the board to resume typing

this will sound even weirder,,, and no the scotch bottle is not beside me,,

every now and then,,, i hear a click and the refresh button/bar on the bottom of the screen flashes,,,its normally then that the cursor goes walkabout,,, is it just me????????

point of interest,, it happened twice in typing this

Never seems to happen to me. Although my page never automatically refreshes when im typing.

by the way congrats on turning black [smiley=thumbsup.gif]


Edit: just refreshed and the same thing happened. would not have a clue what it is :-? :-? :-?

[imported_admin]

What operating system are you using and what browser and version?

[webby]

The sames been happening to me, can be merrily typing along and whammo the flashing horizantal line rockets off to the side of the screen.
i also have the problem when typing, sometime the letters dont come up till youve type 2 or 3 more(maybe im typing too fast ;D}, and it sometimes jams when you want to delete an incorrect letter youve type.
maybe the key board is stuffed, but its only 4 months old.

I have had the same problem a couple of times in the past few days...using win XP..IE6

[PinHead]

oh..being the typist that I am I have to look at the keyboard as I type..look up and half the message is not there...bloody frustrating.

[Sportfish_5]

Does it have anything to do with the type of template selected in your user profile options ie refresh or default ?

What operating system are you using and what browser and version?

[choppa]

the expert behind me advises,,, windows xp,,,,,internet explorer 6,,,

if this means have i updated to ie7,,,,,no,,,,due to the finance programs that i run are still incountering probs with the new version

hence why i haven't done or altered anything,,,,,ps all upgrade access has been turned off ,,, so an auto upgrade without me knowing hasn't occured

'putor at work is also ie6,,,,and i think xp as well

[choppa]

if this helps,,,,which it probably won't,,,, i've encountered another prob on a different forum in the same time barrier (nearly)

each time that i log in,,,it only allows me to sign in for 1 hour,,,if i opt for 3 hrs or for ever,,,i keep getting an error code and it wont allow any access

the owner of this forum is known to all,,, and he has only recently upgraded the board

he has deleted my id,,,,we've tried everything,,,even signing back on as a different id,,

still occurs,,,under choppa,,,,,,,,,

other forum is around hervey,,,just letting you know in case you think of anything that we haven't

thanks

What version of IE6 ?

Just click on Help - About Internet Explorer and it will give you the actual version

When it is happening, are you using the quick reply or the full Reply option?

[choppa]

okay,,, vrsion reads as follows

version:6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2.gdr.050301-1519

down the bottom its got

update versions:;sp2;

happens in both replies,,, full and quick,,,,and when your posting a thread

as advised in pm,,,,,pm's are trouble free

as was this response,,,,,

Can't get it to apen in IE6 on Windows 2000. Am trying it now in XP with IE7, have already updated.

Will see if it happens here while i type this message, so far so well. Couldn't get it to do it even when I typed 30 odd lines of junk.


It appeas to be an XP IE6 issue. Would apear that it is tied up with the banner ads when they refresh every 90 seconds.

Will do some searching around to see if there is a quick fix.

For those that can I would suggest to update to IE7

Goto - http://www.microsoft.com/ie

banner ads though steve have been around for some time,,,,

this on my 'putor has only been occuring since mid december

if that helps,,,,,,,,

Have one website that I go to that will only work in Exploder so I just use it for that website. Everything else I use Mozilla. You will be surprised at how much faster pages load in Mozilla.

just seeing if the modifacation worked and if i can still quote,,,,,,but the above query is real,,,,i've just looked in my profile over the last 20 posts,,,all do not have modify or alert icons,,,,except for the reply on this thread as above

[imported_admin]

You only have one day to modify posts, that is why it is not on the older posts.

The Alert Mod function was not on this for some reason, gremlins, it is now though.

[choppa]

again apologies,,,,,,modify,,,,,,yes

alert mod,,,,,,,, no,,,,,,,,

unless you have changed something that i'm unaware off,,,

alert mod was on all threads posted,,,,,,,,,now its not

i just ran a test,,,,,,,modify shows,,,,,,,but no alert mod

edited,,,,,,,you also had a ""last edited on:" icon at the bottom of a thread if it was modified?????,,,not there also

just letting you know in case it helps

i've run a virus check,,,cleared cookies,,refreshed,,wiped memory,,and whatever else the expert behind me done,,,still freezing

edit 2,,,,have now downloaded firefox 2,,,,,,,,,cursor is now on steroids,,,,flashes at 100 miles an hour,,,,tested a new post in test forum,,,no freezing or any probs,,,,

when i 1st edited this reply i got a ""warning" saying something about editing an encryted message,,,is that normal???????

[imported_admin]

Alert mod is now back, just going through now and putting it on all the boards.

The refresh problem appears to be an XP - IE6 problem. Suggest to upgrade to IE7 is possible. If not possible just install Firefox and use it except when you need to use IE6 for some sites. Firefox will install and you still continue to use your existing E-mail. It will also copy over your bookmarks from IE6 if you want.
