Is it me or AB.?

Ed , There is something amiss at the moment.

I typed a reply to a thread and, the moment my mouse pointer was poised over the submit button, the page disappeared and up came another of advertising material. I clicked the return button but my intended submission was lost. ( Not the first time this has happened.)

Hi Ron,

What browser are you using? FF? I know there are some problems with IE9 and AB at the moment...

Sorry Ed if I am replying when you may have gone off duty. I've been watching Wimbledon.

To answer your question....Firefox 5.0.

Should be fine Ron...

Not to be rude, but, are you sure your finger didn't slip?

Also: did you have any other tabs open? If so the pop-up may have come from them?

I'll have a look however.

All the best,

Spare

Good afternoon SE.....Thanks for taking an interest in this matter. I feel sure my fingers were firmly on the mouse and where could the cursor go when it was clearly on the submit button. Furthermore, I only had open a single AB page.

Anyway, unless other ABers have experienced such a case, I suggest we leave things as they are in the hope that all is now well.

Thanks again.......Ron.

That happened to me today. Typed a long answer to a post, went to press submit and an ad for I think it was toothpaste came up! Couldn't be bothered typing it all again!

I have problems with my signal sometimes, so now any time I type out a long reply I copy it to my clipboard before I hit submit - that way if anything goes wrong all I have to do is paste it back in.

Good tip Karen ...

I haven't had this one - have had problems with the occasional contribution split by what looks like a horizontal double yellow line.....IE9 user.

notasyoungasiwas....It's nice to hear that I am not the only one to be subjected to the position of loosing all that one has typed as a reply and then being too frustrated to re-type.

kaenmac60...If I think my reply is going to be somewhat lengthy, I now prepare it in 'Notepad' and do a 'copy and paste' job; for fear of loosing it, if typed directly into AB.

DTcrosswordfan...IE is full of problems. I suggest you change your Browser to 'Firefox' as is used by the Tech Guys in AB. ...You'll then have two Browsers available for use and I feel sure will appreciate the true merit of 'Firefox', if you make it your default browser. It costs nothing to download.
