So I Got My New Computer Today

And I'm back on the old one because it won't write what I type and won't let me go back and edit?

WTF?

What do you mean by "New"? Second-hand or out-of-the-box new?


How and where did you buy it? Warranty?


Cordless keyboard? Battery? Tried another keyboard?

Some specs would be nice. What OS?

I think you probably need to get it a bit past that point before third hand internet help can be effective. But if you want to hit me up for tech advice, feel free. I've been working with computers longer than I care to share, as it would date me. But I've been giving advice on IRC for over ten years, and building my own computers for 15.

Good luck. I know it can be very frustrating until something clicks, but you'll get there.

Brand new...as in just built to specs. It works fine, it accessed the site perfectly, but when I typed my original message what came up on the board was "undefined." I clicked "Edit" and it won't allow me to "edit."

I wondered if you couldn't be signed on from 2 computers at once so I shut the old one down and tried again but still "undefined."

It won't be a problem until I shut the old one down for good in a couple of days.

What web browser are you using? Do you have the same problem on other sites?

Firefox. I'll try another board later.. I'm out and using my cell phone right now.

Okay, Divi Tiberio, to answer your question, yes, it works on other forums.

Obviously, it is not anything to do with the keyboard/mouse as it clearly picked up the Thread Title which was typed on the same keyboard as the message.

For some reason, and I have already cleared the cache and the cookies, it is not reading the text entered into the message box and calls it "undefined."

But this seems to be the only board that it is happening on.

---

Trying it on Internet Explorer.

And this seems to work which brings up the question of what the fuck suddenly went wrong with Firefox.

---

Trying it on Firefox with all add-ons disabled.

Hmmm....if its AdBlock I hope you people understand that I don't love any of you enough...well, maybe Alei... to give up AdBlock for.

---

Adblock re-enabled.

---

So it isn't AdBlock.

(Looks like "god" let the jesus freaks down again!)

---

I disabled the other two.

Looks as if I'm back in business.


"Hey. jesus! Blow it out your ass!"

[Autumnlicious]

By jove, you debugged yourself.

Well done.

I haven't seen that in a non-techie for quite a while.

What are the names of the two disabled addons?

[Tiberius]

Yeah, it's weird that two addons messed with our site alone. I would like to test them myself.

I guess Min used just the old empirical method of trial-and-error. Still way better than praying
