I am pretty sure this hasn't been done before, but here is the problem. When I write a comment on a game, what I type sometimes doesn't appear. Usually it is about one in every four or five letters won't come up, but some aren't as bad.

I have also noticed this only happens on games that are made by makers that aren't as experienced at games, or makers that only have one or two games. I type perfectly on John's games, but maybe this is just a coincedence? I would definately appreciate help from a developer, but anyone can post!

Sometimes when I type it will "lag" and not display what I type till a few seconds later, or sometimes it doesn't show up at all.

This happens sometimes when I post in the forums and I'm multitasking.

Would be nice if we could edit our posts to correct these errors ourselves.

I see this, but on almost any type of game, and I have no idea what to do about it.

Hmm.... and it works well when you type into other games comments? I doubt it has anything to do with what developer it is. But this is a very odd thing to happen indeed...

It has always been this way. Sometimes the flashy line that shows where you are typing will be unconstant with it's flashes. So when that happens, I know it is one of those games. It also kind of makes me mad when I don't look what I type, and when I'm done, about half of my huge comment is mispelled.

The 'flashy line' is called a cursor.

This has never happened to me, and I have rated/commented on games recently. The only time anything like this has happened to me is when I am using my laptop and my thumb bumps the mouse screen at the bottom of the keyboard. Could this be anyone's issues?

^^ Haha thanks! I knew what the word was, I just couldn't think of it! :P
Well, I don't use a laptop, so that isn't it. Maybe it is because of how complex the game is.

well it has never happened to me and i have a laptop but on my PC it has happened mabey it is the PC cause it is not as complex as a laptop so that might be what is happening to you. But is your PC a new one or is it kinda old cause if it is old that may be the problem

I think it's just because your cursor gets unfocused. What I do is click the orange bar fir game ratings. That usually lets me type.

Really?

That is very odd. I have had problem sot. Sometimes after a time a comment (and it sucks when it is a long one which they often are) my comment does not show up at all. INSTEEEEEEAD the person below me's comment shows up. Then it goes away and neither of are comments are there.

Am I the only one who has the problem? :0

Well someone either commented the same time as you. Or if yours shows up below the other one, it is credited to the time zones. They aren't 100% correct, so there comment in reality would be after yours, but their timezone on the site might be wrong.
