Just wondering...is there any way to get rid of the overwrite (where it replaces the next character with the letter you just typer) when typing a post? I just noticed it, and I wasn't sure if it was an all over the boards change, or if I hit something somewhere to cause the change...

If it is an all over change, I motion to change it back...it's pretty darn annoying...

I thought that only happened in word-processing programs. I can't get it to happen on YN.

If pressing insert doesn't work, write all your replies in notepad or word, then copy/paste them into the entry window.

Did you hit the insert button on your keyboard?

I get that sometimes. There's some button that changes it back, but I'm not sure what it is. Try just shutting your browser down and restarting it.
