Thanks for the prompt reply. I log in using the web based program and have no problem with access etc. However, when I come to play and want to chat, the cursor blinks in the chat line and Table -> shows next to it. When I type though, the cursor just keeps blinking and doesn't move. Similarly if I try to talk to my partner using his '"Box" (containing name, system etc. and with a Chat section) the same thing happens. If I hit the Return key I get the message in Yellow saying 'Please type in chat before hitting return key". I hope this explains it. I don't think it is a hardware issue as my keyboard is less than a year old and works fine for everything else including checking hands played by me or others on the Links page. best regards Mike
