Having Trouble Typing Posts.

[TheLaughingMan]

Ever since I installed windows 7 I cannot delete words and cannot insert the cursor inside a paragraph, its impossible to correct spelling mistakes etc. Anyone know what Im talking about or am I all alone with this problem? Sorry I forgot to mention the problem is ONLY in Thaivisa.com, see cannot even correct my post to say that at the begninning.

I was having severe issues that some of yours were included, only at home though not at work, I was using Firefox at home (IE at work).... am now on chrome (I hate IE but have no choice at work)..... everything is normal again.

[beano2274]

at the top of the box you type in to reply to a post there is a box with two arrows in try clicking this, it is called "switch between standard and rich text editor" that might work

[krading]

Tried that, tried empty cache, upgrade FF, restart browser, still have no edit functions.

Even PM'd george.

No reply.

Oh good! Im not alone lol. Why is it that when we share the same misfortune with others it somehow makes us feel better?

[britmaveric]

^anti-depressants prob do not help mate.

Been using Win7 for sometime and never encountered such issues.

[nicolas18]

I have the same problem. Oddly enough, it only happens with the Full Reply form, not with the Quick Reply one.

I have Win7 but I think it is Firefox-related though.

[britmaveric]

^use firefox myself and no problem with Win7, on full reply or quick.

Yup exactly, full reply form is bad, but quick reply works fine.

I'm sticking with XP. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[tutsiwarrior]

I got XP and now with my recent FF 3.6 upgrade I got no cursor in the full reply box...

xp IS broke..... and its not Win7 that is the problem, it looks like firefox.

[TheLaughingMan]

Well.... this is strange, now that I complained about this problem in this thread.... it is suddenly fixed! Hello Mr. Cursor! I missed you! And I can backspace and delete woohoo!

[garyh]

I am using Windows 7 64bit and Chrome no problem at all.

[britmaveric]

yes - there are technically challenged TV members at play!

Same here, but with FF3.6 it was borked, hence i change browsers.

The solution about the button at the end of the reply box above should work for you, everytime FF is upgraded it happens

[krading]

Still no good.

In my 'Attachment Editor' window I have a wagon wheel spinning and a the statement 'Initialising Attachments'.

Any ideas on that?

edit. the rich text button does nothing.

I am technically challenged and can't type with right hand. But no problems with FireFox.

I got XP (it ain't broke so I'm not fixing it) and I've got Firefox 3.5.8 (also not broke and I'm not fixing that either).

There must be a phrase here that can be coined... how about "update junkies". The people who automatically must have the latest version of something and then spend hours trying to sort out why it doesn't do what they want it to.

[krading]

It updates automatically.

I just let it do what it wants.

I don't bother it and it don't bother me.

That's one approach. However, I prefer to wait before installing updates...

what happens when you switch browsers?

Could it be a firefox add on causing some glitch?

[KhunBENQ]

The original poster only mentioned "Windows 7" and not which browser he used from then on, but sounds very much like the problems that I and many others had encountered with FF 3.6.

Search the forum for "No Cursor When Replying Or Posting".

(admins stated it has been resolved? I switched back to FF 3.5.x)

[MaiDong]

Anybody still having problems can try installing a previous version of FF here http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php

I had the same problem so I re-installed FF 3.5.1, I had to reboot for the installation to take effect and it worked, HOWEVER, my PC had been switched on for many many days and a reboot can make the world of difference even without installing an old version of FF, the reboot may have fixed the problem...

p.s. my evaluation version of Windows 7 is up for renewal(I have to buy the real one ) in 12 days so I thought that might have started to bug me into buying a real one!

[brahmburgers]

I had the same problem, and had just installed a newer version of Firefox.

Though just now, I clicked the far right upper button with the two arrows, as recommended in an earlier post on this thread, and the problem is gone. Is it fixed just for now, or will it come back? I don't know.

[ukrules]

This is caused by the recent Firefox update and an incompatibility with the Rich Text editing box

There is a fix available here :

[manarak]

Probably rather caused by non-compliant javascript programming by IPB, revealed by the Firefox Update.

It could also be realted with the used doctype XHTML, even if transitional.

The DIV or panel containing the Google ads cause an error in IE7.
