NorfolkNog Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Help! Whenever I type a post or even a PM and try to correct it I get this annoying blue box instead of the normal ‘straight’ cursor. The little blue box has a mind of its own and its driving me mad! How can I turn it off please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hmm, thats a new one on me, all i can say is that it must be a setting on your computer / phone as its not happening for me here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks Grendel - seems to be some sort of auto edit, I'll have another look at the settings to see if I can find anything. The annoying thing is it suddenly started, must have clicked on something inadvertently but don't know what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcouk Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Sounds similar to when MS Word is on overwrite mode (by using the Insert button). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 you could try pressing the insert button as that changes editing modes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Sounds good, thanks folks I'll give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Eureka!! Thank you very much. It was the insert key. Pressed it and the horrible blue bit didn't pop up when I tried to edit. It was driving me mad. Much appreciated! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very rude thing to write in the obscure dialect of the interior Wanifrogo tribe of Borneo. Apologise immediately, or it might be your head shrunk on their loincloth belt next.
