BF Technical Question
Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with typing responses to posts? There are huge delays in response to my keyboard inputs such that it can take a very, very, very long time type a response to a post. I do not have this issue with any other website. Sometimes I just give up trying to type a response.
Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere.

Nope ... no problems here. Try rebooting your computer.

Sounds like a connection issue or spyware. Clear cookies, cache, reboot or restart browser.

I have. About half the time I've tried to type in a reply on BF I've had to wait about 5 seconds between keystrokes for them to take.

I have had issues using it for a long time only on my iPad. For sometime also. It lately has been nearly unresponsive to trying to type and defaults out of the text box. Previously I have had issues with the cursor jumping around and words not making sense.
It has only been my iPad, using Chrome, and SwiftKey keyboard. Never on my android or laptop.

Not since I went to a high modulus carbon framed keyboard with CF keys, fast acting low friction ceramic pivoted switches, high flex monster brand cable with gold plated connectors and an aero wrist rest.
It does that when the connection is slow.

I regularly run anti-virus, spyware and malware searches so I do not think that is the issue. I have noticed that my CPU is pegged (this is not a terribly fast computer) until the ads quit loading. Sometimes after the ads quit loading it is better, but not always. I typed this response in word and pasted it into BF because of the issue. If anyone else is having the issue and can direct me to the solution I would appreciate the input as I enjoy participating in the BF discussions.

Have you tried different browsers? I seem to remember that happening while running Chrome for whatever reason, but I've switched back to Firefox (and just "updated" to windows 10) and haven't had any issues. You should run Adblock on whatever browser you're using as well, I forget that this webpage ever even had ads because I don't see them.

The ads do hog up some performance but I've always had an issue with this website logging me out automatically after about 5 minutes. I'll be typing a post or response and when I go to send it, I have to log back in. Also at work on their computer with windows 8 I've been experiencing something similar to you but I thought the keyboard was messed up or I was having a stroke?

That's two sentences. Shouldn't a semi-colon be used in place of the comma?
It's not me; it's you.
As for the OP's original question, beats me.

Also, shouldn't you have written "Those are two sentences" instead of "That's two sentences"?

Even with a semi-colon I believe it would still be one sentence:

I can see that I shouldn't have strayed out of Addiction.

to the OP, I still don't know.

Proper grammar makes you faster.
Ads? Try using Firefox/IceWeasel with the Adblock plug-in......
8 year-old 'puter here, and this site works just fine for me.
