help for a computer twit

[ferguzzi]

I'm sure this is an obvious one for the informed, but I'm a bit lost.

I find I can't reply to any topic on the forum, or start any threads or topics. What happens is that as soon as the page for writing comes up, in about 2 seconds the computer drops off the website, drops of the internet, and I find myself staring at my desktop front page.

This happens on my home pc, a dell, but also on the computers I get to use at work. However, it doesn,t happen when I get to use my laptop, a mac. Which is what I'm using now.(hello from hong kong, by the way!).

Problem is, Lately I rarely get to prize the laptop from my wife's clutches, so I spend a lot of time reading the forum, but not able to add my 2 cents. Which probably suits some people, but is driving me nuts!

Any thoughts/suggestions?

maybe something with javascript on your computer, the reply/post sceen does a lot of this. Maybe this makes a differrence:

 

goto "my controls" then board settings and there right bottom is :Type of text editor to use when posting", choose standard editor.

 

Other option: try firefox.

Switch it on then switch it off, works for me

Yeah, I've got firefox on my mac, which is possibly why it works and the pc doesn't. I'll wait 'til I get home and play around with it then.

Thank you, Obi Wan.
