This is the only website this happens on so I feel like it is something TBN specific. When I am typing my cursor just disappears. I will be typing along looking at my keyboard obviously, because I have never learned to type without looking. I look up from the keyboard and the last 3 words I wrote are not there because the cursor disappeared. Does this happen to anyone else? It is pretty annoying. It is somewhat intermittent. For instance, it did not happen while typing this whole post.

I have that happen too but it's not only this site. Only happens occasionally and I've been unable to figure out why.

As I recall, it was something to do with auto-save feature as you type getting hung up. It's been a few years since I recall dealing with the same thing.

Every time an advert gets displayed the cursor disappears. I'm thinking the adverts are designed to take precedence ( display over all other items ) and is the reason the cursor disappears because the advertiser wants you to click their ad. This is intentional formatting by TBN management.

Cursor disappearance has been going on intermittently for over 10 years under Microsoft Windows O/S platforms.

Not something I suspect that the TBN folks can do much about. I too have seen it, only on this site. It does appear to be add related. I think its the engine/add ons/platform the site runs on. I'm not a programmer/web master, I have built several sites in my day.

While useful its not perfect. It's the price we pay to play...
