This is the one where pressing shift moves the cursor to the beginning of the row instead of shifting (and makes typing smilies a bit annoying ;))

Can be fixed by rebooting or...

pressing "home" :)
apparently it's caused by the computer thinking the home key is stuck down or something.

Would give a rep point, but someone stole all the rep points I had, so I can't give any :(.

I discovered the solution before and used to tell people about it!

However, in all fairness Fing does deserve rep for this...



















































But here's a picture of a kitten watching WOW (the bastard!) instead

I'll only give rep for threads titled "I uninstalled WoW and installed DAOC instead!"

I always used the reboot option as I never found a key combo for that :(

I agree, this is worth a rep point :)

that kitten is sooooo cute =)) it's really fun to see cats stare at the monitor, though all they want is catch the cursor, believe me =)

you get one free when you subscribe to WoW, i like teh undead one, u just need to find the cat mortuary and then shove a stick up its arse. If you get board of WoW you can always use it as a duster.

lols, its "home" you are supposed to press ? ;)
To fix this I pressed "ctrl-alt-home-end-pageup-pagedown". Guess I did it the long way around :D

.. at least he boasts that he can, but then again he brags about his NE priest killing a shaman, and we all know that must be a lie :p

He's got a nice T-shirt tho (" I pwn n00bs" ) .. it was so nice some m8s of mine had to print a few for ourselves, so we can play daoc on LAN parties with identical, nerdy T-shirts.. hm, I wonder why 90% of us are single?
