| Issue with the cursor
Ok this is a bit of a strange one, and I'm curious if anybody else has it. I have Firefox 3 and very frequently when I'm writing a post on AN there is no cursor. It just simply isn't there, I can type words fine, but can't see the cursor. In addition to the invisible cursor I cannot move up/down/back through text for some reason, I can only type words so if I notice a mistake further up in my post I cannot correct it without deleting everything.
It's a pretty minor point, but quite irritating. One way of solving it is simply to refresh the page, and that usually gets the cursor back. I suspect it's either Firefox 3 or the FoxyTunes plugin that I use. This problem is only limited to AN.
Anybody else get this?

Ok switched to the standard editor. Never, ever used the WYSIWYG editor as I know the BBcode tag thingys anyway. Will have a bash with this and see if it works. Cheers all.

I posted about this a while back, it's definitely an Altnation issue with Firefox 3. Addons, skins, operating systems, etc. don't matter.
Haven't been able to find a fix, either.  (Without disabling WYSIWYG) | |
