Anyone having trouble typing today?

Hi – I’m struggling to post as my cursor keeps vanishing after just a few words, meaning I have to constantly re-click in the text box to continue typing. This is only happening on MN. Any ideas why it’s happening please?

Same! it's frustrating. Maybe to do with the merge to the new site?

Oh, yes this is happening to me too. I initially thought it was my wireless mouse but it's only happening on MN.

Slightly relieved it's not just me - thought it might be a virus on my PC or similar!

Morning - this sounds a bit annoying for you all. Can you let us know whether you're using the app, mobile site or desktop, please?
And which devices/browsers/versions of the OS?

Many thanks.

This happens to me quite a bit on MN but nowhere else. Weirdly tends to only be when I'm starting a thread. It seems to be stuff (adverts??) running in the background. I use Chrome on a Samsung Notebook and it shows up something in the bottom left hand corner that normally sys "waitng...." (currently just shows the page URL)

Using Chrome on my desktop here - Windows 10 I think.

For me -- desktop site on Safari. Seems to be OK on mobile.

I'm running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (MacBook Pro) and macOS Monterey 12.2.1 (iMac) and it's happening on both

Hi all

We know this is a pain, but could we ask for some pictures/videos of this happening so we can pass them over to our tech team?

Same here on Safari.

Same here. Desktop on Safari or Chrome. The blue line around the text box vanishes and then whatever I'm typing just doesn't appear. Have to click in and out to re-activate it, sometimes every few keystrokes. Got better recently,. Was terrible about a week ago.
