Recently I've noticed that I will be typing away when all of a sudden my keystrokes don't appear on the screen. Could it be the ad? This has happened before.

What are you running, OS, Browser, hardware?
I had noticed that on my old system PIII550 the caret wouldnt appear at all because of the Ads and animated similes taking up allot of resources.
Is it during a Quick Reply or a Slow Reply? :D
XP Pro, IE 6, hardware (what are you after?). Anyhow I don't think it has anything to do with that since as I said this has happened before.
Its happening to me to. Only it just did it today.
REmember that ms speed ad that gave us allot of issues months ago? Maybe its another new ad that is having this effect?
Is it during a QR or a regular reply?
Did it to me in both Quick Reply and regular Reply, even when I had it in focus.
Dont know, its not doing it for me. Just realized which ad Martin was referring to. I even played the embedded video and tested while it was playing. ?
Running XP Pro, IE6
Have you tried with another browser, like .... dare I say it... Firefox? :)
I never look at the ads, they don't bother me, and I've never had any issues like that on any site.
I believe that JR is running FF. I havent had this new issue but it may not be a browser based error?
My screen has hung about 4 times in the past three days, trying to open the brassring page. I found that hitting F5 resolves it. I'm using Fx.
I use IE mostly. But so far it only done it to me in IE. So far I haven't had a problem yet since it last done it a few hours ago.
I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to reproduce this issue. If I ever do reproduce it, I will attempt to have it remedied.
I haven't seen the ad in a while so maybe it has expired.
Possible.
There is a new one that is slowing down pages. I had to allow JavaScript to the site, but it still delays things for a half-second.
FireFox disables most Javascript related nasty behaviour, so you probably won't see it in that.
The ad is back and it is still grabbing the cursor.
Just happened to me a few minutes ago. Typing and looked at the box and only part of the message was there and the cursor was gone. :(
[scary music]Just when you thought it was safe to type without looking...[/scary music]
:lol: I usually start looking only when I am just starting the reply. Then I proof read and post. :D Guess I will have to pay more attention to see whats going on while replying.
I just informed Joe (grrr it just did it again!!) that it grabs the cursor when the movie starts.
If you guys can note the ad that is displayed when you have this happen, that really helps.
Brad!
I did that already :confused:Quote:

Something isn't right, and I don't know if it's JAVA script that isn't being recognized as it seems to be coming from this site, or that it is an internal problem. It's getting annoying.
It's bs.serving-sys.com and it is very slow. I've hardly posted lately because the site has been so slow to load.
That's it It hasn't been as bad lately, though. Is it fixed? :)
Now it's ds.serving-sys.com, and it's really bad today.
The proper people have been notified so I expect it will be fixed. When? I can't say.
