    Default Help Please! Problems Typing Text on This Forum Only


    Every time I try to post everything starts out fine but shortly into typing my post my key strokes start to lag and miss letters altogether. I'm not fast on the keyboard by no means. This post started out fine but about the word "keyboard" it started acting up again. It just took a couple minutes to type the last sentence!
    I only have this happen on Crappie.com. Any other forums I visit work just fine.
    I'm wondering if I have a setting wrong or something. Sometimes it won't load my posts after I try to submit them. Any ideas?

    Hang in there - there is a fix, but someone way smarter than me will have to post it again. I remember this happening to me, and it is painful!!

    x3!!! I have no idea what the problem is. Even on my newer desktop computer I
    have issues on occasion. Hope either "G" or "slab" can help.

    Click on the "MY STUFF" button at the top of the page ...
    Scroll down about halfway and look on the left for "General Settings" ... click on that ...
    Scroll down to "MISC OPTIONS" : Message Editor Interface ... and see if it looks like this -

    Miscellaneous Options

    Message Editor Interface:
    • Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
    • Basic Editor - A simple text box
    • Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls



    If it is ... change it to Standard Editor

    That's what was done for many others that had this same problem.

    **********************************************

    There's also the possibility that won't solve the problem, so if it don't, put it back like it was and the next time you start to post ... first click on the "A/A" box (first box on the left, above the blank message area). When you put your cursor over it, it should say "Switch Editor to Source Mode". That's been known to solve some of the typing problems in the past.

    For some unknown reason, sometimes when Ed does some software updates/upgrades, "some" members encounter problems like you describe (or other similar ones). One or the other of the above fixes should get you back to "normal". And if it don't ... PM Slab about your problem, and he should be able to fix you up.

    Hey Jerry, haven't been doing much of anything. Got back into shooting in a few bow shoots shooting a recurve. haven't fished much at all. May go to Mayflower and shoot in the Traditional Bowhunters State Shoot on the 4th and 5th. I'll see you around probably when your here.

    Thanks CrappiePappy, I tried what you suggested and changed from Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing to Standard Editor-Extra Formatting Controls. Since doing this everything seems to be working fine so far.
