    Default keyboard problems on quilting blogs

    is anyone else having problems with typing replies to blogs? I am a fairly fast writer and I find I am dropping many letters when I do a reply. I need to slow way down and deliberately push each key. (No difficulties with this entry). I am on my computer for about 6 hours a day and this is the only site I have a problem with.

    Has something to do with the settings. I have more problems if I don't reboot/restart often. I have trouble once in a while with this site and another site. Thought it was this computer but happens with my laptop.

    How old is your keyboard? I had an intermittent problem like this that got worse and worse. Replacing the keyboard cured the problem!

    WOW, I thought it was my motor skills. I have a very old keyboard and computer.

    I have problems too. Sometimes the words go vertical instead of horizontal as well. It sure keeps my replying to a minimum. I have a new laptop but use a separate keyboard but it happens just as much when I use the laptop keyboard, so I don't think computer age is why it's doing it.

    I've had the same problem and thought it was just my keyboard, but the it never does it any other time. Very frustrating if you're a fast typist and have to keep stopping to go back and correct stuff.

    My keyboard is probably at least 12 years old and I type VERY fast and I have not had a single problem.

    should qualify this - this is the only blog this happens on.
