Keyboard problems with site? Disable WYSIWYG setting
Just installed IE11 on Windows 7,all seems thus far to be OK, however since the upgrade I have noticed that when typing on this site (replies ) my Keyboard is now reacting in a strange manner,and I cannot type fast any longer,as some letters do not get entered f I go fast! Any ideas on this issue? Typing in an Email or letters in say M Word go just fine!?? Strange just this site does it! Thanks

Hello Chris
Sorry for delay (time diff mate) anyway thank you for that Link,i will keep it in mind for sure,will have to look at it in depth,but it does look good! However as you may have seen Tony,s Test Posts they seem to have done the trick. I recall playing around with the Settings some time back,but forgot to reset them ,but again thanks for the Post and advice@ Appreciate it!
Cheers

Re: Keyboard problems with site? Disable WYSIWYG setting
Vernon, I was begining to think it was just me. Since our 'funny' friend made a visit to this site I do at times experience problems. Open the site and for the first half a dozen posting or so all is OK then it begins. Computer appears to freeze for a moment or so and typing does not always respond. Any suggestions??
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Keyboard problems with site? Disable WYSIWYG setting
Hi John
Well except for the Keyboard issue which has now been solved thanks to Tony,i am not sure as to why you are getting the other Probs mate! The Freezing of ones Puter could point in any direction,possibly you may have a Bug in the System? Also sometimes points to overload in the Memory at certain times!
Do you have enough Memory?? And when on the Puter when the Freezing starts are you doing other things a the same time?? Not sure but look into all these possibilities!
Cheers
PS Have you been into your General Settings ,as that is where my problem was,and after Tony had set it all was AOK! Try looking at that as well. The Pic shown is the setting I now have.
Cheers
