Peak 370 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Does anyone else have problems with this forum only? 1 in 4 letters or spaces does not work first time for me. Yet e mails and other forms are fine. Weird! Quote
Paddy78 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Peak, it seems to be an issue with Internet Explorer 11... really f**cking annoying. Use FF or Chrome instead! Edited June 26, 2014 by Paddy78 Quote
Peak 370 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 Could we get a spell checker put on here to help? Quote
Lexx Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 All browsers now include an automatic spell check. The typing issue the OP has is a compatibility issue with IE and the forum software. It is out of the teams hands as we are not the developers. We update and patch the forum software regularly and if the developer releases a fix then it will be applied. IE is the devil though and should be ditched as soon as possible. 2 Quote
Peak 370 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Sorry, I meant a ''word suggester'' like many sites have. It will suggest or even complete a word for you. I had to re-type over 60% of this post, eg. It's maddening. It has to put some people off posting. Quote
cmck13 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Had exactly the same problem for years using IE, on advice from this site I transferred to google chrome and it stopped this issue, I think firefox is is an alternative as well. 1 Quote
Peak 370 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) IE I believe, computers are really not my strength. Would a change to something else not alter tons of stuff I know and understand? Edited July 1, 2014 by Peak 370 Quote
Lexx Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Chrome will import all your bookmarks and favourites. You can also just not use it if you didn't like it. IE will remain on your computer. Quote
cmck13 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 No you can hop from one to another if you really needed to depending on what you make your default browser, but it should not change anything existing on your computer. Lexx above has just beaten me to it. Quote

Jetpilot Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 If I am using my tablet and reply to a quote as soon as I start to type something beginning with I, is it or in for example, the cursor jumps to various places with the quote as soon as I type the next letter after the I, anyone else get this? Quote
cmck13 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Just to clarify, your saying its only on the letter "I",and only on this site and no others? Quote
WhackyWill Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I use Firefox for the Forum only and never a problem, I use Chrome in another window for other applications. I try and avoid IE if I can. Quote
Jetpilot Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Just to clarify, your saying its only on the letter "I",and only on this site and no others? Only this forum and only when quoting someone, I on its own is fine, but just as I typed the s on is, it jumped up into the quote! Edited July 4, 2014 by Jetpilot Quote
Lexx Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Tablets are a sketchy thing with regards to using full sites, as their interface is designed for PC's. The forum does run a mobile device friendly option which works well. And there is also TapaTalk (although granted TapaTalk seems to be getting worse with each update the developers do). Quote
