SMF Members: When You Reply To A Post... do you find that you have to type very S-L-O-W-L-Y in order not to have letters skipped or omitted?
I usually have to type my reply in Notepad & then paste it in.
This happens on New Posts too, only not as bad.
To the Powers That Be at SMF: You are the best!
Thank you for providing us with the Forum: It is an invaluable resource!
... so says the spin man
I type very slowly with one finger so I've never had a problem!
I'm not noticing any problem. Maybe your keyboard?
scan for viruses
haha, I'm on dialup, Everything goes s...l...o...w...w...w...w ; )
Don't think so.
I'm a long time IT man.
I used 2 different computers at 2 different locations
Maybe too much Crown Royal.....
Dialup?
O_m_g!!!
I'm usually on my phone. Haven't had any problems with letters keeping up.
I need to use CCleaner a lot here, still many times the insert link and photo toolbar icons don't show, but when they're not available I just post the link and let it be at that
internet explorer has problems with this site.......chrome browser seems to be ok
Spin,
I came across this issue a week or so ago when I was fiddling with my settings on SMF. It could be your text editor in SMF is set to "enhanced interface- full WYSIWYG editing". I tried that and it slowed the whole entering of text down just like you indicated.
Here's how to get to that spot:
Go to "settings" on your SMF main page. (Make sure you're logged in)
Look for "My settings" column on the left hand side of the page.
Select "my account- general settings"
Go right to the bottom of this page.
You should see "Misc options", and part way down it you will see "message editor interface"
You will probably see that you are set to "enhanced interface-full WYSIWYG editor". Change this setting to "basic editor" or "standard editor-extra formatting controls". I use the "standard editor" choice.
Hope this helps,
Jon.
No issues here Spin, I'd says it's the Crown, or if you want it to sound all smart, go with Saw's explanation. lol.
Far as typing with one finger..my nana, calls that hunt an peck typing. Only way she can do it. lol. She also turns it into a dirty joke, but hey..you can figure that part out on your own. ;)

Jon (Saw) - You Aced it!
I can post to my heart's content now! (Not like I haven't been doing so already)
You are my new hero!
Sirscrapalot - Don't worry: You are my hero, too.
Ha!
Your just saying that so I forget to leave the cooler unlocked.
An yes...the cooler has a lock. Sadly it had to be done. Proof the world is going to hell in a hand basket. /sigh
