What happened here? I need some help.

[XYZ]

For some odd reason I try posting today and my "enter" key is not working. Close the internet browser and use a different program, not an issue. Come back to IML and it is happening again. Not only that but in my posts it's underlining words such as neg and rep....never use to do that. I know I am not tech savvy at all so anyone have any idea? Not being able to type in paragraph form is driving me nuts. Thanks.

Which browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and which OS (Windows, Mac, Linux)?

I am having same trouble on this site. When I try and send a message or reply to a message the enter button does not work enabling you to start a new paragraph....Something is going on with the editor?????

Which browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and which OS (Windows, Mac, Linux)?

Internet explorer and windows. Never had an issue until today.

Are you willing to try Firefox? I'm curious to see if that works.

I barely have the tech knowledge to do anything more than turn on the PC.

Firefox is an alternative to -- and superior to -- Internet Explorer. You can get it here. Just download and install it. When you run it the first time, it'll ask if you want to import your Internet Explorer settings, choose "Yes."

Then use that to browse the Internet with Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

Let me know if, in Firefox, you're still having the same issue with IM.

You could also have malware, I would run a virus scan as well

Run a defrag and Ccleaner, if you don't have it you can load it for free. Clean the registry and cache.

I have the same issue... it fucking maddening to try and edit.

Google chrome check... works fine. must be an internet explorer issue

just search "google chrome download" and follow the links. and when the new icon is installed on your desktop use that instead of internet explorer.

it could also be a plugin for the browser that needs to be turned off

I think the link a few posts above could explain it better than I could.

It was happening to me as well. I assumed the cause was an update to the browser since it was happening at every board that has this format including MD. I went to "settings" then "General settings" and changed it from Enhanced Interface to Standard. That did the trick.

Message Editor Interface: Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
Basic Editor - A simple text box
Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls

When posting messages to the forums or other members, there are three interface types available to you. The simplest of these is a simple text box, while the last is a fully-fledged WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to format your text as you want it and see the results immediately.

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type.
