This site affects my keyboard.

Options
When I type, sometimes no letters appear then a few appear all at once, when I hold a key down the cursor does not move or if it does it types a row of the particular character and then stops. My keyboard is fine on anything else ie..other sites, e-mails, word documents, messengers etc. .... even my spare keyboard is affected on this site in the same way. Is anybody else having problems.??

    I had that problem a little while ago, but since BT upgraded me to 2mb speed I've had no problems (though I can't tell the differance between 2mb and 512kb!)

    I did have this problem a long time ago on Yahoo Messenger and I know some people with Yahoo messenger who have also experiended it, it did clear on it's own but the problem must originate from the site, or server. I am using dial-up but I don't think that has anything to do with it as at least one of my friends who experienced it was on broadband.
  • Maybe your keyboard is not designed to accept keystokes at 200wpm. Slow down and use a single finger to poke the buttons like me
