    FWIW: I'm not using a touchscreen laptop... It's at home (I'm at work) so I can't provide any of the information you're looking for right now...

    Div.nav-Area thing

    My local storage thing for Boards.ie is blank :confused:

    The touchscreen thing returns true, so it would seem that Chrome thinks my laptop is a touchscreen. Any idea how to reverse this?

    There is some evidence from the Chrome bug tracker that there were various changes in Chrome 23 that may result in false positives. They should be addressed in v24

    Please try upgrading Chrome to version 24 - it was released 3 days ago. You may have to download it from http://google.com/chrome.

    Note: If you actually have a touch screen laptop then you'll still get no sticky header. The solution to this is proving to be a bit of a conundrum.

    I'm just wondering if there's ever going to be a fix on this issue- the only way I can get the sticky header is either by using I.E or disabling touch screen in chrome settings.
    I'd like to be able to go back to chrome one day. :o

    I'm guessing there is no way around this apart from using IE! :)

    As Posy says, there is a workaround for this for Chrome users. Open chrome://flags and disable the option "Enable touch events". This causes Chrome to ignore a touch screen if present.

    However, some laptops without touch screens are exhibiting this behaviour too - this is usually due to OEM drivers spoofing a touch screen. I've seen it on Acer and Sony laptops.

    The only problem with that being I'm not sacrificing my touch screen for boards! :pac:

    The sticky header works though if I'm logged out. But once I log in (yes, I have 'sticky header' enabled!) it no longer sticks. It is grand on internet explorer though. :)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
