View Full Version : A new and different problem

Since late yesterday, the forum has changed for me in a bizarre way. Everything and I mean everything is treated as a hyperlink. All the thread titles, people, number of replies, everything is underlined and when clicked on produces the little Hand signifying it recognises the words as a link, whether it is or not.
Even this post is a problem because the only way I can move the cursor while typing is with the directional arrows--the mouse just shows a Hand for linking and nothing happens.
I know this may not be very clear but it is very strange and very annoying. I have changed no settings. It does not happen on other web sites. Any mates have any ideas? I have sent an e-mail but I need your expertise to help solve this problem.
Arrrrrgh!!!!:((

It seems ok at this end as far as the cursor goes but all the headers for the forums are underlined. Will get Neil to have a look.

My cursor acts, or rather, fails to act, like the Honorary Bloke's.

To post a reply I had to first put the cursor in the title square then tab to the reply section.
Never had to do that before.
No settings changed my end either.:no:

Same here, it started last night & is not consistent.
The edit function works fine but making a new post is not easy.
I found that if I right click in the message pane & select all, then I can left click to position the cursor. Data entry works fine til I want to reposition the cursor & then I have to do the select all trick again.
The arrow keys work to reposition the cursor but the mouse pointer doesn't.

Thank you. I thought I was going insane. (Well, I AM insane, but feared I had lost the plot entirely. ) If Wendy has it, it must be a real problem. If Cliff has it, it MIGHT be a problem, or it might be Cliff. :D :D :rolleyes:

Finally got a cursor. So curse you, you old brickie. The world does not use Firefox. :D Anyhow, if Wendy is distraught (which she is) I should hope you blokes would sort it.

Mine has all the underlining but curser fine. Hassle with reply box though, but seems to work if you click on the Switch editor mode in upper right corner (the two As next to the spell corrector).
But if I go back to correct something I have typed I have to use the navigator arrows. Glad it is not just me.

Bloke, the world may not, but I have done for some time, and I am here to tell you that Firefox is a much better browser than Mickysofts' pathetic effort.
Oh, and I don't have any problems either!:p

Cant reply with IE.
The forum looks like one of my old school books after the teacher has corrected all the mistakes with a red pen. :doh:
