A few times now - in the midst of typing in a quoted post - my screen will suddenly go blankly grey, with a prominent caption reading something like "Drop Copied Material Here." Fortunately, there is also an "X" in the upper right corner, which I can click to be taken back to my post-in-progress.
I assume that I'm somehow triggering a macro, probably by typing too fast with a lagging connection.
As I've never intentionally tried to use whatever this feature actually is [and don't anticipate ever needing it], is there some way to remove it from my post options?

Speaking of lagging connections, my current one is taking soooooooooooo long to load changes that it's becoming really frustrating. So I'm going to log off now and go to bed.

Google shows nothing on this. Sounds like a question for Proboards themselves, but I can't pursue it right now. I'll try later today if it hasn't been resolved here.

I checked over at Proboards Support and no one posted about this issue. I have tried many things and have been unable to duplicate the problem. I think the problem may have been if your connection was lagging that the system thought you clicked on Add Attachment instead of what you tried to click. I could disable that feature for the whole board, but it would be a lot of work to disable it for a few people. Something to consider, perhaps I could change it to only be available for people running play by post games. Let me know if the problem is still occurring for you. |

It has done this a couple of times for me, but I have a laggy connection and a 12 year old computer so I expect problems from time to time.

It hasn't happened again since my initial post above, but then I haven't made a post since then, either.  I'm okay with just dealing with it, if fixing it isn't practical. It's not a serious issue for me, just an annoyance. |
