OK, this image is how your post looks to us in the thread, this is only about half of it, I can't get the whole thing on one screenshot, but can you see how there is a word and then a long column of letters?, this goes quite a ways down the page):


This is what the post looks like when I hit reply to you (it is a row of english flags, but this is not what it looks like in the thread):


Did you put english flag images in? If not, you either have probably been infected with a virus that attaches itself to outgoing messages or something. If you did put them in, then the system on byc seems not to support the code you used.

My husband who's a programmer just looked at it and said to try unplugging your keyboard plugging it back in and restarting your computer. When you look at the quoted replies do you see it? If not, I'll take a screen shot.

I can only see it through your pictures. I do not have a keyboard, I am on a Macbook Air. I did not put those images in. I don't understand how I could have a virus on the first day of using this thing... And I have virus protection.

 

[llandry]

He also said if the computer is brand new its not likely to be a virus.

 

[llandry]

He said it sounds like something was not installed right on the drivers. Its a manufacturer error and to call the company or tech support or take it to the applestore. Its literally printing all of the keys of a keyboard with one key on a line.

 

[JerseyHen]

How does he explain the english flags that are in there when I reply to the poster's reply? Those are not accidental. Perhaps macbooks have an "english flag key"? lol. They don't show up in the thread unless you try to reply to the post and then they disappear again when it is submitted and the long list of letters shows back up.

hmm... I'm going to see if this is happening on other threads.

Hit reply to one of shadow rabbits posts. You will see the flags. It is not letters, although I also noticed that what shows up in the thread is the full keyboard list. Why would there be a string of english flags?

I agree its weird. my husbands about as anti-apple as you can get. He said to bring it into apple for one of their "geniuses" to fix. If this was anything but apple he'd tell shadow to bring it over and he'd fix it. He barely helps me with my I phone. He's a tech snob! I must have touched a nerve because now he's frowning!

 

[llandry]

Oh yeah he's frowning. Hee hee He also just corrected me. He's made it clear, he's Not a programmer. He's a systems administrator.
