Help!

I am experiencing some computer problems and hoping someone can give me a clue.

When I am on The NewsTalkers and attempt to reply or edit, I am instead sent to the top of the page. That's right, every single time I hit the "reply" or "edit" button, I am sent to the top of the page. First started noticing this problem a couple of weeks ago and switched to Internet Explorer (which sucks) and it worked for a few days, now it is doing the same thing.

I can't even respond to my own post here so please, give me your best ideas to give a fella a hand.

:~)

I don't know, Larry. I wish I could be of more help. I've been using IE10, and here on NT it's giving me fits, too. New Laptop, Windows 8.

I think I'm going to try Firefox on this computer and see if it works better-- either that, or its the laptop. Of course, it couldn't be Operator Error... LOL!

Good luck! Smile.gif

I'm using Firefox and things have been a bit twitchty on this site for a few days. Must be something it ate.

My iPad does the same thing, and the only way to fix it is to reboot NT, which is not a big deal for a tablet but is an annoyance. I don't think I've ever had that problem with my desktop or laptop.

Fixed! (kinda)

Went to "page" , went to "compatibility view settings" and enabled it for all pages....works now.

But I cannot find "compatibility view" in Google chrome which i would prefer to use.

So weird.

I am now experiencing problem with the mainroom and private chat here on NT'ers...names are getting all jumbled and not allowing me to chose a particular member...I don't get it. But hey, at least able to participate so I am thankful for that.

No problems with Firefox at all. Perhaps you are cursed. By gypsies.

Something's wrong with this sites programing. Most likely a server-side anomaly.

Windows 7 x64 and Chrome. No issues to speak of. Make sure your browser add-ons like Java are up to date.

Thanks Bruce!

That makes sense and also something I saw other's mention when researching trying to figure this out.

Try another mouse. Weird things happen when they start to die.

I think you are correct raven.

I made sure I have the latest update of Java Installed and it doesn't matter.

Sorry I missed this Larry,

Although I have no idea of what it is. I have never had it happen to me. I used chrome and I'm on windows xp. I'm not even sure how to report the issue. I am going to do a little searching in the Ning group though.

I had this issue too. But after I reported it it was gone, magic! But it could have also been cause I switched to my Macbook.

I've had this happen in the past but not recently; I assume Perrie will explain what's happening and determine the source and the fix.
