Title: Enter/Return key not working
Post by: DuVeL on March 28, 2013, 06:14:09 PM
Weird stuff, lately on the forums my Enter key doesn't work. It still works on other programs like Outlook and such. Any suggestions guys? :g:

Have you tried the windows on screen keyboard?
Does it work on that?
Just to narrow it down to software/hardware

I've tried my settings with the language part and such, tried a new keyboard if it was my old one messing up (had it for 10 years). No luck so far and it's just this forum....

It seems to be Internet Explorer messing things up. After a suggestion I've tried Firefox and it worked again.

Internet explorer causes all kinds of trouble, it will ruin your life! ;)

moved to chrome nearly a year ago after a decade or so with ff.
very pleased, didn't take too long to get used to and migrated all bookmarks, add-ons and settings in 1 easy click.

Chrome is very good, especially if you sync your bookmarks across multiple PCs and devices. I took a portable version of it to Belfast on Wednesday just to show animated GIFs for a presentation since internet explorer is so poor it doesn't display them properly.

Firefox - Chrome, it's all good. Frankly I can't really find much to separate them. Chrome is quicker to set up across multiple PC's and has loads of interesting web based apps, Firefox is easier to control how much personal information you leak out onto the internet and has more addons that can customise your version of the browser. Horses for courses as they say. Right now I use Firefox as my main browser and Chrome as my Google services interface i.e I use it for Gmail, You Tube, G+ etc.
