Use Firefox or something other than Explorer?
If your using the Window 7 browser, that is the problem.

Yep, happens to me at home, but not at work. Also only seems to be an issue if I have to backspace or otherwise edit something while typing.
Mostly, when it starts acting up I take it as a karmic reminder that I don't have to comment on every little thing posted to the forum. Never pass an opportunity to shut up. LOL
only happens to me at work... guess it's a sign
If I am on my Windows 8 laptop at home, it does that, and also won't recognize a return. Gotta do my White-blazin' at work. (Shhhhh...)

Yes. Every post. That is part of why I end up editing almost every post 4 times. Missing letters everywhere.

Thank you for bringing up this issue. YES, I have been having a horrible time ever since we had our computer 'upgraded' and Firefox was taken off. I will have to have my daughter download the Firefox again when she is in town and in the meantime will type response in Word then copy and paste here.
Thanks to all for the suggestions!

Ah ! I noticed this happening too. I have Internet Explorer at home . Question then ; do I download Firefox through a Google search engine or what ? When it comes to computers I'm pretty much a Neanderthal with 10 thumbs .

For what it is worth, I opted for the free upgrade to Windows 10. It comes with a new browser called Microsoft Edge. I have zero typing issues now.

What I've found is that I can type normally until I press enter. Also, once the cursor is moved in any way it will also start skipping letters unless I type very, very slowly. So if you ever see a post from me and wonder why its in one large paragraph this is why...if I press enter it starts skipping letters, so I just don't press enter. It also does weird things when submitting the post...a box pops up asking me if I want to leave the page or stay on the page. If I choose leave the page it redirects to a new screen and I lose my post and have to type it all over again. If I choose stay on page I have to do that two or three times before my post will go through. And I am on Windows 7 with explorer.
Can we please get this addressed by an ADMIN? As a donating member I would like this to be fixed, it has become a huge pain to post
