Help! Enter or Return Key Not Working
A most peculiar thing has happened; it seems my Enter or Return key will not work when posting on the site. It's working everywhere else on my 'puter but it doesn't want to function on the site. Any suggestions? I simply can't understand it... Jacyn

Hi Jacyn
Not too sure on this but it nay have something with the VBulliten Setup?
I have heard of others (not here ) that had the same problem also with VBulliten they sent Emails to then and got it fixed!
But as said i am not sure on this,best to ask Brian or Damien direct!

Howevr we are on Version4.2.0
Try using Google Chrome and see if that makes a difference!?
You can also try unplugging your Keyboard,and blow it with a Blower then replug it in!
Final solution is a new Keyboard!

Miscellaneous Options in your settings?
You can also go to your Setting and change to Standard Editor!
If that doesnt help just revert back to Enchanced Interface
Miscellaneous Options
Message Editor Interface:
- Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
- Basic Editor - A simple text box
- Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
When posting messages to the forums or other members, there are three interface types available to you. The simplest of these is a simple text box, while the last is a fully-fledged WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to format your text as you want it and see the results immediately.
Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type.

Hi Jacyn.
I have been having so much trouble that I nearly threw mine out the window, It took me two hours yesterday to get on the net. today I restored it three times each time it said can't restore to that day, I thought stuff it and went on the net to this site, it came up straight away no trouble, maybe you should try restore before you go crazy ha ha.
Cheers Des

Computer can be very very trying indeed!
Just keep your calm,sit and think and relax!
Best to just switch all off for a while then Switch on again,that sometimes does wonders!
These Monsters have a mind of their own!

Thanks, all, for the suggestions. It's the most peculiar thing indeed. I'm afraid a new keyboard won't do it now as I'm on a laptop. Hate to think of having to buy a new laptop just now. I'll try a few things and see what happens. Cheers!

Thanks, Doc!
You're a genius!!
I changed my settings to Standard Editor and it worked.
As you can see, my enter key is now functioning here once again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was about ready to pitch this laptop into the back garden...
Cheers!
