Are you having trouble typing in the forums???

I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues that I'm having. When I want to type in a thread, not posting a new thread, and not anywhere else, no website, not when I'm giving reps, ONLY when I'm replying in a thread, the keyboard skips letters, or words mesh together. It seems I can get 4 or 5 keystrokes, then it will skip the next 2 or 3, then start up again. It doesn't matter if it's a letter, number or even a space. It has been happening for the past week and it's extremely annoying!!!!

Anyone?

Not me

Not me now, but something similar has happened to me in the past - quite a few times.

It gets fixed for me after I first try a total computer shutdown, and I do Spybot and Malwarebytes scans.

Yes! I thought it's because I'm only using my ipad now! What's happening to me, is I type a few letters, and nothing happens; a few seconds elapse, then the typing catches up!
Very aggravating.

You're just typing too fast for your computer, Lynnie :wink:

I notice its only when typing in these forums. I'll try a total shutdown. Thanks everyone and

Lynn, I fee bad for you...it's sooooo annoying

I shut down my computer totally, then restarted it.....nothing....same old stuff, it's sad, takes me 10 minutes to type a single response in a thread. So, I'm sorry if my posts are filled with spelling mistakes and not much punctuation, I don't always catch it all, and we all know how well auto correct works!

YES! So glad it isnt just me. I get so frustrated at my computer / the forum that I usually have to walk away and take a few deep breaths! LOL :) I usually switch to mobile to respond as on my laptop it never seems to work.

This happens when im on the laptop

Hm...so I'm getting the impression that it could be my ipad....I'll only confirm that when I can get back on the computer...someday..;)
Thank you, Holly, for opening up this discussion...I would never have known! :)

Do you all perform regular virus scans?
I've found that it makes a huge difference, you never know what's lurking out there...

I get this too grrrrrr. If I run scans while I'm here, it's fine. But weird. And annoying.

This happens to me too but only on the laptop..... Very strange...! Hmmmmm. But very very annoying. I hate it when it happens.

I have an excellent "PAID FOR" virus scanner/protector, so I know it's not that. I've shut down my laptop and restarted it, AND I've tried on my ipad, it doesn't matter, it seems to be an issue with this forum, it's darn annoying. I hate not posting in all the threads I want to but it's coming to that :(

Thank goodness I am not crazy. It happens to me only on my desk top so I will only comment while using my iPad. Seriously I thought it was just me.

Yes! This was happening to me last month. I had to type very, very slowly, or it would miss words.

so did i :)

I let Boo know, hopefully he can find what the issue is as I do not experience it

For those who do
- what browser do you use? IE/Firefox/Chrome etc
- what are you using when it happens? Windows/Mac/iPad/iPod
- does it happen if you use tapatalk if mobile?
- do your words highlight and overwrite them or just not show up?

Pretty sure i have IE & windows on the laptop when it happens .
The comment box sot of flickers no highlighting of any kind
Like someoneone said if u type slow it can be ok kind of but very frustrating and many times ive lost my train of thought
While typing it sticks and stalls like youcan ype 10 lettrs and only 2 show up

-yep happens to me on my desktop also -windows xp

Hi, Open a support ticket with tapatalk it may be you're using an old android or an out-dated android. A solution for your trouble would be to visit the site normally without tapatalk and switch to the mobile theme.
