Tonight, while typing responses in a thread, I experienced several times (quite a few actually) when the cursor would disappear and I could not type until I took the mouse and clicked in the appropriate place on the screen. I have realized it is related to the advertisement in the side bar changing. When it flicks from one ad to another or the electronic casino ad changes images, is when the cursor disappears.

I am using a Dell desktop with Windows 12, and Google Chrome for a browser.

Any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this?

Altho I use an Apple computer I do use the Google Chrome browser. I also use AdBlockPlus (it's free) and get no ads whatsoever with the new software.
I've never experienced the disappearing cursor you describe.

I use a acer PC to visit the escpae Forum
I find if my cursor is near the lower right hand corner of the screen by the "date and time" the screen will go to the home screen. Once I move the mouse the Forum screen re-apears. is it possible that is what is happening?

Is that a typo or are you running a Windows beta version?

So it looks like @Janet H is the only one who can fix our usernames?

This has been updated. As you noted, duplicates are not allowed (software limitation).

No, its 11 Pro. I've got so much going on right now its a wonder I can think at all.

Click on the individual's Profile pic, then choose "Start Conversation."

How does one attach a photo to a PM? The site seems to be looking for a URL, and my image is stored locally.

If your images are local files, add them as attachments to the post, using the "Attach Files" button. They'll come out like this...

I see an "Attach files" button in the Forum threads but I don't see one in the Conversations. Nice comet pic, btw.

oh, thats not my comet picture. this was my comet picture, and it wasn't nearly as cool... cell phone from my driveway.

 

[John in Santa Cruz]

these were my favorite comet pix from local (greater SFBA) amateurs...

Curious why, when composing a "conversation" (direct message), a double-return shows as a paragraph break in the editing window, but when I hit 'send' the delivered message appears formatted without the paragraph-breaks?

This is very different from the forum-post editing behavior where a double-return yields a new paragraph break.

I'm on a windows PC, Edge browser, if that makes any difference. Am I doing something wrong?
