keyboard plays up only on the kennel

[no1bulldog]

Anyone else having issues when trying to type anything on here? the keyboard misses heaps of letters spaces et.. (sometimes need to hit the key 3 or 4 times for it to register)

I though it might have been something on my end but its only on this site and no where else, makes typing anything on here very painful

eg unedited text below

all these missingletters ar really staingto shtme no end

No issues at all on my end... and I'm using an unreliable bluetooth keyboard.

Have you tried testing this forum in a different web browser? That'll at least tell us if it's a browser issue or not.

... your PC sounds like it's infested by bugs.

Let's play 20 questions.

(1) - How old is the PC ?
(2) - How long have you had it on today ?
(3) - When you started this thread, how many other tabs/programs/things did you have running ?
(4) - What browser do you use ? (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc ?)
(5) - What anti-virus program do you have installed ?

Is your keyboard:
a) wireless
b) a Logitech one using setpoint

by any chance?

The Logitech wireless gear (whilst excellent) is prone to really touchy receivers (even the new Unified ones), and often suffer interference or problems relating to non direct line of sight.

Low Batteries can also cause characters to drop as well.

Setpoint software can be Browser/OS/Program set, and might give you some issues as well (modern releases of Setpoint are horrible).

What you could try is a cheap USB/PS2 keyboard and see if the same problems occur. I doubt it's only this site related, but could be browser related.

Ummm, no .... Just a lowly entry-level tech support for ze webs.

Thanks for the promotion though.

What's a "sea prompt" again ?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Where's my "any key".

Ok just in IE, try TOOLS > OPTIONS > ADVANCED TAB.
Reset IE settings.

Might fix it.

Mine does it too, and only on my new laptop ($2,000 ASUS).

Will try some of the suggestions....

 

[Mr Invisible]

If you are using IE:
TOOLS - Compatibility View Settings - Add the site to Compatbility View list.

Might fix the issue.
