Typing starts and stops while posting

I don't know if others are encountering this problem, but when I am posting a response or comment, all of a sudden, I can't type, as it completly stops for a bit, like it is trying to catch up or something. I look at my screen while posting, and normally, as I type the letters are there, but it started this yesterday. I thought maybe it was my keyboard, but when I use my ipad, the same thing happens there. I am not sure why it is doing this, but it is annoying, as I can't get much posting done when it stops and starts. If this is a glitch, then I hope it gets fixed soon.

This sometimes happens to me but if you just keep typing it will catch up. I think it is a glitch in the computer rather than on MyLot as it happens to me in Word sometimes too.

That could be too. It doesn't happen all the time though, and I am happy about that too.

@ElizabethWallace The same here. I thought that maybe it had to do with my keyboard, but it was't because it does it on my ipad too. It reall doen't make any sense at all, that is for sure.

I think I am having this same issue. I had it when I used IE, changed to Chrome and that was great for about three or four months and now I am having a 'plugin' and 'reload' issue with the browser. I goodled for help and got a great site that came up and wants me to block some plugins. I am nervous about doing that without a tech's help and have no money to pay for tech time. So what's a gal to do?

@rosekiss...It gets continually worse for me. I am sure that I will have to break down and do something but I don't what.

@celticeagle I have only had it a few times today, and only about once this afternoon so far. I restarted my laptop, thinking it would help, and it did for awhile, but then it came back again.

I know what you mean, as I hate doing things that I am not sure will even work or mahybe mess up my laptop. I don't get that problem all the time, but I do get it once in awhile. I am using chrome, and with the old site, I had more problems, but with the new site, it seems a lot better, which is good too.

@rosekiss it happened to me many times and I thought the problem is on my computer until I read this post of yours.

I never thought about that, but you are right, it could very well be. It does;t happen all that much though, and I am glad for that.

It hasn't happened to me, but I haven't been here much today. Is there no problem when you use the computer for other sites?

It only hapens here, and nowhere else. I posted with my ipad to see if it would happen there, and it happenid on ti as well, so I know it must be with the site. I don't get it to much, but only once in awhile.

I haven't noticed it on here, so it is probably something with your Internet connection

It only does it here, and it was suggested that I should restart my computer as that might fix it, and that is what I will do as soon as I get done posting this.

That happens to me a lot on this site. I've found it is the worst in IE, and usually the best in Chrome. I thought maybe it was a lag in the internet or something, but it happens even at work ,where we have high speed internet. Actually it seems to happen more at work, than at home, even though I have satellite internet at home, and it is pretty slow. Everything else works fine, it's only My Lot that gives me trouble. So I don't know what the problem is. But it's been a lot better the past few days, so maybe they are working on fixing the glitch.

Today it was acting up on Chrome, then I got a message saying that the Shockwave Plugin had crashed, and after that it worked fine! so it must be a Shockwave Flash problem (whatever that is).

It is a new keyboard, and when it does it on the ipad too, then it has to be with the site. I restarted my laptop, as it was suggested that I try that, and so far so good. I did start this discussion in the hopes that @MyLotBugs will see it and if is a glitch, that it will be fixed.

So, it is with the site then, as others are haveing the same problems. I will have to notify admin or @MyLotBugs and let them know what is goipng on. Once they are told, then they can work on it.I thought at first it was maybe in my laptop or keyboard, but it has happened on my ipad too,

It may be a glitch, as I know it isn't my keyboard, as I tried mylotting on my ipad, and it did the same thing there too. My keyboard is new too, and I haven't had any problems with it at all. When it does the same thing on the ipad, then there is something wrong with the site, that will be fixed in time.

I thought that it was my computer as well, but since starting this,others have said tht they are having the same problem. I haven't had the problem all that much since then though, and for that I am so glad too.

I doubt it's a glitch with the site. I had that happen a lot with my laptop, but now that I have a new computer, it doesn't happen anymore.

@birjudanak I love the new site, and I really haven't had all that many problems with it, except for an error and the typijg starting and stopping sometimes. I don't get it all that much, and I am glad about that. I don't really think it matters what browser I use either. I don't like Firefox, so I won't use that one, as I have had way to many problems with it.

@rosekiss yes but as we talk before we can change browser and check because right now we have no other option so you have to try it because this new look is very nice

This is probably not a myLot problem. It happens a lot when there is a lag. I just keep typing and sooner or later, it catches up. I think it is from that cursed shock wave flash.

I have the tendency to really type fast, that is true, but it was doing it on my ipad too, and I can't type fast there at all. It doesn't do it all that much, and that is a good thing. Since I have restrted my computer, I havhave only had the problem once.
