Hi. Why is it that I sometimes can't delete mistakes I make when typing in the 'REPLY TO THIS TOPIC' window/box? There isn't anything wrong with my keyboard 'delete' key.

So you are typing a message and the Backspace key won't work when you press it ?

Sounds like an issue with your browser or with something on your system locking either the backspace key or the form field.

The backspace key works, but then when I press 'delete' to remove a letter, nothing happens.

Thanks for replying anyway.

Try highlighting the word or letter/s You want to delete and then right click on the highlighted part and select delete...

It wont fix Your problem but it will help...

I think the problem you are having is due to some add on (shockwave flash etc), on Your browser
