Post by: Goldseeker on November 19, 2018, 12:11:44 PM
Keldaw is having problems with the forum.

Here is a retrains of his email to me:

, I cant get through to anyone now on the forum , only by private mail , I think it should work ok now  I hope , every time I try to reply to anything , my screen goes blue and all down the left side I get all the smilies , and there is no way I can find my curser line to start with . have you ever had this problem ?   it only goes blue when I try to reply to a post from anybody .

If anyone can assist kel getting back into normal action, appreciated.

Quote from: 'JeffH' pid='117563' dateline='1542589408'Not sure what your problem is but a few suggestions;
•If there is an issue with a browser it is worthwhile to clear your cache and cookies (https://www.google.com/search?q=clear+cache+and+cookies&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b). Close the browser then and reboot the computer and start again
•Sounds a little like you have things being selected on the page.
      -Try hitting the "Esc" key. Does that do anything?
      -Is one of your "Shift" buttons stuck down?
      -Is a mouse button stuck?
•Might be worth trying a different browser in case the one you are using takes exception to the forum. Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) or Chrome (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en) are good ones. I personally would not use any browser that comes with Windows.

I think following Jeff's post to Kel's other comment should hopefully help.

Kel,
If you put your cursor on the blue area, hold down the left button of the mouse can you drag or change the blue area?
Also check your mouse settings in windows control panel (I am assuming you use windows) to make sure the "Switch primary and secondary buttons" box has not somehow been checked.

Kel,
The blue words in my reply are links for the internet. Click on them and you will get a page explaining about those terms and how to do those things.

Hi Kel,
I have sent you an email with a couple of questions to see if we can figure out what is (or not) happening.

As I posted in another thread, a blue background is usually an indication that you are in the Public section of the forum.The following thread is in the Public Section.
 (https://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=5218&action=lastpost) Where do you finbd yourt coins? (https://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=5218)

I have this morning also had a list all the smilies appear in the text section, so it may be an indication that something in that thread is not behaving normally.

I've sent Mark a message to see if we can get him to have a look at it.
