I tried emailing you (Ziroc) but it kept coming back as undeliverable so I am posting this here!

When I am posting or replying to a topic my cursor blinks very rapidly and sporadically. It is very, very, very, very, very annoying and is starting to cause headaches and eye strain (and I am afraid of an epileptic seizure http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif). No seriously, is there anything you can do to change this? It happens on both my home and work computer so I know the actual computer is not the problem.

Is anyone experiencing this???????

It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear ignorant,
than open it and remove all doubt!

Mine does it too. I can't begin to imagine why.

So does mine and it is annoying!

I think its due to the lots of smilies available now for our replies. Having so many animations in the screen may cause the cursor to blink.

Memnoch and Ziroc itself will know better though.

Yep, same here...also, my cursor will leave "tracers" of itself behind in the message, making it very difficult to proof, especially when it's close to an "L" or "I". Strange!

Too bad there isn't a way to see which are most popular and take out the least used ones! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif Is it only when we use them in our own replies that it causes that problem? My cursor looks fine now.

Moridin: can you send emails to other addresses ??
I can send mails to Ziroc ok i think, so maybe its your account not Ziroc´s.

Just an idea

Anyone else with a Hotmail account, try to email me (any address from above is fine). I'll look into this, this is not good.. I BET its because we don't have a secondary DNS machine. hmmm

Sorry to say this Ziroc
but i sent you a mail to all three addresses with Hotmail, and i got back the same message as Moridin.
Dunno what it might be though http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/frown.gif

Noticed this at work, but not here. Maybe thing is fixed? dunno, but wanted to update.

I don't really know if it has to do with the animations. I was having a lot of trouble with it in the Wizards and Warriors forum yesterday, and posters there are downright Spartan (compared to GD) with their anims and signatures...usually a text signoff is all they use there.

Moridan, It's all his little animated smileys for topics... Try this (it works for me) scroll the page so all the cute widdle smileys you could choose are above the browser's toolbar... In other words, are OFF you screen. This puts the text cursor back to a slow (normal) steady beat. Only problem is, you might get a crick in your neck from looking up! (I've got a 17" monitor!) Hope this helps. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/heee.gif
