My keyboard won't work on MN, can anyone help?

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!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2011 15:13

How strange! If you hear anything or fix it, would you let me know?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2011 17:16

mn its so very very odd!!!! have had to type this bit in another program as I still cant start a new box. but I can keep on typing once some text is in the box.

Oh I'll try that too..... yes I can add to the previous bit. I'm actually glad it's happening to someone else! It was driving me potty.

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)

Hi guys
ARGH how completely flummoxing and irritiating. Angry
We are very sorry that this is bugging you.

Please can you tell us which browser and version thereof you're using?
Thanks

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2011 20:36

chrome 14.0.835.163 m Olivia. Thanks for lookin at this - going to try with firefox.

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.

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

suzikettles · 20/09/2011 19:51

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

suzikettles · 20/09/2011 19:52

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

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 20:03

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

Unless you mean something different?

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 20:29

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?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 21/09/2011 07:45

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!

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

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

OhYouBadBadKitten · 21/09/2011 15:20

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