croberon 523 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I can't reply to hubby's PM. What's wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penbwlch 810 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 More info needed, Croby. What actually happens? Do you get an error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croberon 523 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Nothing happens. The mouse sort of behaves like it's trying to chew tough calamari. I can select text, it highlights, but I still don't get a cursor. I was able to respond to one message by trying to click until finally a cursor appeared but that only worked that one time.The weird bit is, it's fine everywhere else in the forum and everywhere else on the internet. Let me test one thing and I'll brb. Ah, Pen, tried to reply from my computer here at work. Same thing happened. So I clicked in the subject line. Got a cursor. Tabbed until the message box appeared with hash-mark border and then I was able to get a cursor and respond. So it's not the computer or the mouse, must be something with the PM. Didn't have the same problem when I responded to M's pm this morning.croberon2009-02-13 15:15:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penbwlch 810 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 First off, the PM window is behaving itself for me and I have heard of no problems from other users. What OS and what browser are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croberon 523 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm using internet explorer on both my home and work computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penbwlch 810 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 What about add-ons? Updates to anti-virus or firewalls? (As you are getting the problem at work as well as at home, you need to look for the same software at both). Without having hands on the computer, it is difficult to identify the problem. If the computer is running well with other programs, it seems unlikely to be hardware. Try starting in safe made and see if you still have the same problem.

M&MBM 598 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Can Graham PM you again and you see if that happens again from him? You replied to my PM fine this morning, and that was after your problem with Graham's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croberon 523 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I will have him PM tomorrow and see what happens. Pen, both computers run the same safe software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&MBM 598 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Perhaps Graham should PM Pen to see if Pen can reply to a PM from Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penbwlch 810 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Croby, the reason has to be a software mismatch somewhere. It is "just" a matter of identifying it. M, good idea. That would eliminate one possibility. Croby, can you start a PM or is this just when replying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croberon 523 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Just when replying to Graham's PM. Everything else is fine. I'll have Graham PM Pen. After he puts the shoes back in their webs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penbwlch 810 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 That is odd. I look forward to getting Graham's PM to see if I can find the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
