99mustang Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've noticed that when I am replying to posts or PM's, the letters go missing. For example, typing the above and the ply in reply would be left out, or the er in letters. It's a if the keyboard is faulty but it happens on my laptop as well. So am wondering if it mh be something to do with th spell check sytem in the replies window? The above as left like that as it is just how it appeared on my screen, the rest took ages to type correctly. The faster you typ the worse it gets!!! Thaks, John.

franzbassist Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Interesting, on one of my laptops the return key doesn't work, so everything just appears as one long stream of consciousness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I bet you're using IE11 on Windows 7 or 8? It's a known bug. Either use a different browser or toggle your edit mode to basic (the little lightswitch logo on left hand side of the Reply window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I have had similar issues when typing fast, which is good for two fingers, but not just on this site ? just speed the systems can transfer your key input into I & O's. i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99mustang Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yep, IE11 on Win7. Bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have completely fallen out with Bass Chat on IE11 / Win7 pretty much unusable nowadays, I have to go in via Firefox which seems to work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99mustang Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hmmm, yes it is rather trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have similar (but not the same) issues and no-one will believe me! I'm NOT mad, I tell you! *hides tiny spoon in sock drawer* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysseus Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have the same problem. Plus, the quote function will not work for me. Also, typing my response in wordpad and pasting it into the reply box will not work either. I frequent many forums, but this is the only forum where I experience this problem. Weird....

icastle Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The issue is with 'standards'. Whilst most browser manufacturers use the standards described\defined by W3C, Microsoft have a tendency to manipulate those standards slightly in order to support various features that their server portfolio uses. My understanding is that when our current version of the forum software was being designed and tested, IE10 was the highest version available to test against - IE11 was released afterwards. IE11, like it's predecessors, doesn't adhere strictly to the W3C standards that other browser manufacturers work to - but... in a different way to IE10. The IP Board developers are good, but they're not psychic. I believe that our next upgrade will sort out the IE11 issues and we can only hope that IE12 bears a passing resemblance to IE11. FWIW - I'm a long time Microsoft fan, and this browser fiddling is getting on my t*ts as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysseus Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ^^^^ Hmm yes, this makes sense. Thanks for the info, it's good to know the reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
