My son say's to throw it in the dish washer next time and use the heat /dryer cycle -then set it in the sun to make sure it is totally dry. It will take me 3 months to fill the DW to justify using it. He does this once a month and he's been using the same kb for 3 yrs.

Seriously? In the dishwasher? I found switching from internet explorer to chrome did the trick for me.

Did you try first hitting the A/A tab that is directly under "quick reply" first? This always fixes it for me and I can type with no problems. (The tab on the far left right about where you would type a quick reply.)

I have had the same problem and stopped for quite a while, but it's working OK now. It is just this site.

I haven't been posting/shareing for the same reason! So far the fix works! I have been remodeling my sewing room and have 320 YARDS of fabric folded on comic boards(so far) - don't tell my DH! I don't have a smart phone so don't know how to post photos, just be assured my sewing room is PERFECT and you all will be green with envy, LOL

Glad to see your still with us!! Nessie

Since it works with every other site, I hesitate to do that. A minute ago, it was skipping but now it's working properly. Not sure what the trigger is. I did change the compatibility setting thing but immediately afterwards, it started skipping. Just logged out and back in again, so maybe that set the change in motion. If so, YAY!!!!

THANK YOU, everyone! If it starts goofing up again, I'll try some of the other tricks. {{{{{ BIG HUGS }}}}}

I think we must be having an Electronics rebellion, of some sort. I also post on one of the very popular social sites (I'm not sure we're allowed to mention names, but y'all probably know the one) and every now and then, my iPad or iPhone refuses to support that app. As soon as I start to scroll, it shuts down the program. On the computer, it works just fine. Have rebooted and deleted/restored app, with no luck. Then as suddenly as the problem began, it'll vanish. Yep, our electronics are out to drive us all batty!
