For some reason I am having trouble posting in the forums. It's as if I'm using a manual typewriter and the keys aren't hitting the ribbon. (Only older folks will understand this, I think. LOL) Anyhow, the page is "jumpy" and my words won't type out correctly. It's frustrating... *sigh*

The trouble lies not in typing the OP in the thread, it's commenting afterwards in the forum. I have to type in Microsoft Word and then copy and paste in here. Yikes! Please help. :p

Go into <SETTINGS>, and down near the bottom, reset your browser to <STANDARD> (or whatever is the lowest setting.... [I think it is the middle of the three offered])

You're set too high for when the forum gets a little overloaded, and you need to try one of the two lower options offered.

The only thing with this "semi-fix" is that you may lose some of the ability to use certain formatting tools in your replies.

You can switch back and forth between the three setting, till you find the best compromise. Often, after a few days, you can go back to the best one, (WYSIWYG), if the forum will handle it. If it acts up again, you now know how to drop the sensitivity down a little.

Yes Willie_T, I just found that out when I went to post a photo in the Bible Discussion Forum. A bit different formatting but it posted successfully. Ah, technology... :rolleyes:

I hit a snag earlier also. Glad it's all cleared up for both of us now!
