i felt i hadn't made enough computer issue posts recently, so i'm making one now.
occasionally firefox decides the the slash key, the apostrophe key, and control-f all do the same thing (pulling up the find box). thus i can't type them in my posts. they dont appear in my posts at all, they just pull up the find box. on top of that, the shortcut keys for cut, copy, and paste, do nothing.
its happened twice now, the other one went away after a while, and i have no idea what is going wrong.

Just throw the thing in the trash and start again, this is getting ridiculous.
Sun Oct 15, 2006 9:16 pm
yeah, sure.
this one appears to be firefox-related though, since everything works fine in word.

Use IE or Opera.

Reformat your computer or something. Or if you down't want to do that, just change your browser like Jugs said.

Let's get Andrew to ban anyone that can't type slashes.

lol. But anyway, switch browsers. Firefox is garbage.

So, yeah switch. Or send the Firefox guys an e-mail asking for help.

Damn it Peach, don't recommend the "COOLmac" solution for PC problems.
Maybe your shortcut keys for Firefox are screwed up?

Use Opera.
Firefox is safe but slow.
IE is fast but not safe.
Opera is about as safe as Firefox and about as fast as IE.

sounds fair/reasonable to me.

I've experienced the slash problem once. I just shut down firefox, then reoponed it and it was fine. Never had that problem again.

Or doesn't use capitals.

Instead of the "COOLmac solution" since its just firefox, why not get rid of it completely first?
http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_3.html
follow that guide to completely remove it, then install it fresh again.

Let's get him to ban everyone who doesn't use complete sentences!

You didn't get my joke, did you?

I actually made my joke because I didn't think you got koberulz's joke, in an attempt to harmlessly mock both of you at once. He started the thread saying he couldn't type any slashes whatsoever, then ironically used one in response to your post, which was devilishly clever.
I think there are several levels of confusion going on this thread, none of which are going to resolve the problem

... I'm starting to think that should be the official forum motto.

That has got to be one of the funniest statement in the NLSC but in a far more higher intellectual level than
"will it shock or freeze"
or
"proof or ban?".
What's the problem again? I thought koberulz is the problem.
