I'm not sure if its my PC but when I try to reply to threads I have difficulty in getting the cursor to go into the message box. Best that I have found is to click on a smiley to get the cursor in the box.
I'm beginning to think one of Microsoft's cures is not well :D
Anyone else have the problem or is it me! (wife says its always me :()

I haven't any problems replying to threads but I have to reload the page everytime I have read a thread to be able to read another thread. This is using Google Chrome, it's ok with Firefox.

I've had that problem with the cursor on and off for about 3 days now. I hadnt said anything cause i thought it was me/my computer. Tho i have noticed it doesnt do it on any other sites, only this one.
I use google chrome.

I was having trouble accessing anything yesterday- links wouldn't highlight when I moved my cursor over them so I couldn't click on anything to open it. It's fine now- I use firefox but I even switched to Chrome to see if that was the issue and it was the same

I noticed some changes to Google Chrome a few days ago, highlighting seemed different and the way the page refreshed was different. At the same time the links didn't always work. I've found that if the page is refreshed the links will work.

Possibly this one Peter.

vBulletin 3.8.6

Or it's a version of part of the system only.

I think the problem is a change to Google Chrome.

I did that when clicked on FHUK forums, but seems to be working faster as well. I also had to reset Firefox as it was taking time loading and kept jerking. It's not a 100 percent but working much better.

I still have the problem , using ie11, in that to get the cursor into the message are I have to click on a smilie and then delete it, a bit slower bit at least it works.
Once there is text in the message area I can move the cursor out and return, very strange.
