Hmm. I haven't been able to type in the message box for a few days now. What could be causing this?
Salt, which browser are you using? I know that IE has some issues when the page encoding is not the more traditional ones like windows or iso. Check your page encoding.

Have you checked your fingers? If they got chopped off in a butcher shop accident, that may be your problem.

You could possibly check that your keyboard is set to a Roman-based language, like English for example. If you're trying to type special characters, iSketch might not like those.
Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. Good luck :)

I can't type in the box either. It was working a couple hours ago and then stopped working and now it won't work. I am using IE but I'd really love if this could be fixed without switching browsers...
I can type my password and username initially but when I enter a game all I can type are non-alphanumeric characters such as [ ] ' ; / .
It's really irritating...

Looking at the date gaps between posts... I'll never get my problem solved...
I think the date gap was due to the fact that not many of us know what to do to solve it, the suggestions listed above are the only ones i can think of too. sorry.

Same here, just check that your keyboard is set to English, otherwise the only other suggestion I would make is to switch browsers.

I would suggest trying to use a different browser to see if the same problem occurs, as db mentioned.
You might also want to clear your cache and/or update both your browser and your Shockwave versions.

I've been having the problem that whenever I type Control + V to paste a link, only a v shows up... Do you guys have any idea what I could do for that? I'm using IE.

I have the same problem when I use IE. I think it started when updating to IE 8. Solution: use a diff browser :P

Well, I can't answer your question but on a sidenote, I don't think you need to type in your password unless you're an admininistrator or a special case.

Chrome is fine.

Correct, only administrators and registered players require a password :)

I agree with storm; I usually use Chrome for iSketch. It really helps if you are one-stroking as well because I find that you can actually see the pointer for longer using Chrome :)
