Bloody computers
 
Can anyone help!!!!!
Back in the UK, whenever i joined a thread, I used to get email stating if anyone had replied to that thread. But now i don't for some strange reason, & i spend most of my time searching for the threads i have joined. Is it a case of just changing a setting on my computer???
Also when i hit the back space button to correct a mistake (and believe me there are lots!!!!!) it wipes out the whole email not just the mistake i trying to correct!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:
Can one one help out a stressed out homesick pom!!!!!!!! :(

Is it actually wiping out the whole of the text or just wont let you correct a mistake as it deletes the next letter etc. The only way around that is to delete it all from where the error occurs and be careful retyping or come out of the thread and then go back in and do it again.

It is not a problem with you or the PC but the website itself. ;)

I'd also check you haven't got a key stuck down, like the Alt key as that can wipe out all your text that you've typed. Not 100% sure but it's worth a look. Let me know if you suss it.
