When I come into this bit I can only type the letters and nothing else; no space, no commas, stops. Nothing. why would this be, O clever technical people.

I've typed this bit in word and C&P'd it into here. Every time I try to do it normally, it won't do it. Is it me? And why only on MN?

Have you checked whether you're drunk?

I'm definitely not drunk. And it fine from my iPad and phone. Still doing it on laptop, but it doesn't do it on anything else on there. FB/email etc all fine.

Will stamp on it in the morning and see if that makes a difference.

Bastard teenage DC and chums kept me awake into the very small hours so it could something as simple as my brain is not fully functioning.

Maybe your spacebar had some wine too as it's functioning even worse than your brain

You're rotten and mean and everything. I'd actually understand it better if was the same wherever I tried to type, but it's only in the MN message box. I shall sleep and try stuff again on the morrow.

Turn it off and back on again. Sometimes my scroll bar doesn't work but if I just restart the laptop it wakes up

Frank you have the most bizarre problems with MN.

You're using your laptop keyboard or an external one?

Which web browser do you use? I've seen this happen with Internet Explorer, when there is a dodgy addon/toolbar installed, and deleting all the addons fixed it.

That's just bizarre. What happens when you press space? Just nothing? Does the cursor even jump or anything?

Right, it's fine on Chrome, so must be an isolated issue with my Safari. FB/Email etc are fine and I can post as normal. It's just in the message/post box on MN that I can't.

Very odd. Very annoying Grin

Well, then use Chrome! It's a better browser anyway!

Delete and reinstal Safari.

Or just use Chrome.

Has Safari updated recently?

I got the 'new', 'updated' and 'improved' version of the software on my phone and none of the kids games have worked since. I am NOT impressed

I am using Safari on a Macbook and it's fine.
