My keyboard is acting up

[rico942]

I still have a stack of 5-1/2" floppy disks and a genuine Hayes 2400 baud modem. Just in case a Zombie Apocalypse takes out the Internet and I need to get my old FidoNet BBS back online. The ECF must live and if it takes two or three days to read and respond to messages, well...

Worked for a company in 1975 that built "glass typewriters", dumb terminals with just a CRT and keyboard, connected to a mainframe through a phone cradle modem. We sent packets of data that were called "text messages", a term that fell into disuse, only to be revived decades later when SMS came into being ...

I learned to program on a Teletype 33 with paper tape ...

Damn, I'm old ...

I cant seem to hit enter to start a new sentence or paragraph. It just runs all the text together which drives me insane. Is anybody else having this problem?

It happens to me too once in a while, well, most of the time. I'm glad it's not just me.

See the reply button that says "go Advanced"? Click it.
That'll open the full editor where you have all of the text, link, and picture options. In the top left corner of that editor, there is a button with A/A on it. Put your mouse over that button, and it should say "Switch Editor to Source Mode". Click it. Now you'll be able to use the return key.

This is the same editor that pops up when you start a new thread.

I think I figured it out. We'll see on my next post. Thank you very much

This clunker is about 5-6 years old. I just am scared to death to try a dry burn for fear of popping some coil. Ha
