For some reason my laptop keyboard won't work on MN. I am having to write out my posts and copy and paste them into MN, I'm not sure what I have done.... It's fine everywhere else

Any suggestions gratefully received!

It might be tashhag as I've just uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and I'm back working on chrome again. It would make sense that updating chrome temporarily fixed it until adblocker kicked in again on something? I'll leave adblocker off until tomorrow and then see if the problem reoccurs when I put adblocker back on.

Give my thanks to Damian SophieMumsnet - will report back with any new developments.

I did a bit of googling and there are suggestions that it may have to do with an adblocker - this page is in connection with Google chat, but it may be a similar situation - maybe worth checking...

So sorry - Damian has done a through check going through different Windows versions. He has done a complete CNR and can't work out why the post box should break for one browser. So sorry OYBBK and Moanna

Now mine isnt working with chrome again despite having the new version of chrome! silly annoying thing.

PersonalClown · 21/09/2011 09:45

Mine's working now. Try Uninstalling and adding again Moanna.

For some reason mine wouldn't do an update and uninstalling fixed that.

yes!!! thank you Suzi! Didnt work earlier this am with my old version, but it did update when I checked the version and now its back to normal. Hooray!

suzikettles · 20/09/2011 20:29

Ok, I just checked my version number again and it got me to update.

I'm now on 14.0.835.186 (no "m" or any other letter after it). So maybe try clicking on the little spanner and checking "About Chrome" in case it updates you?

PersonalClown · 20/09/2011 20:10

Oh that's just not fair!

I hate Firefox. I want to go back to my lovely Chrome.

suzikettles · 20/09/2011 20:03

Well I just posted the previous two posts (and this one! Grin)

Unless you mean something different?

PersonalClown · 20/09/2011 19:56

Viewing is fine Suzi. We just can't post with C&Ping from another area on using another Browser.

suzikettles · 20/09/2011 19:52

Oh, and I've got the same version as Moanna and PersonalClown.

suzikettles · 20/09/2011 19:51

I'm using Chrome to view this and it all seems fine Confused

PersonalClown · 20/09/2011 19:38

Another Chrome user here. Same version too.
Having to use inferior Firefox.

ah. okay that is v helpful to know. Will let the techs know.
Thanks

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2011 20:39

ok - its fine with firefox :) phew! no longer my browser of choice but it will do for the mo.
The issue must be with that version of chrome as I have the same on both my netbook and pc and it was exactly the same issue on both.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2011 20:36

Fingers crossed they can fix it! Grrr at all of the copying and pasting, such a faff.

I reported the thread to mn and tech are looking into it for us. I'm glad I'm not the only one too - saves me trying to do drastic things to the pc (which inevitably I'll regret)
