Screen resolution annoyance. Movable Type annoyance.
So yesterday I plugged the laptop into a bigger display to do some proofreading - everything worked fine. This morning I unplugged the laptop and the screen resolution is all wacky. I've tried every setting and nothing seems quite right, quite the way its always been. Maybe it's like getting a new prescription for your glasses - things never look QUITE right at first?
And then there's Movable Type 4.21. I upgraded a couple of weeks ago. In general it's slower and it has at least one thing that annoys me a LOT - about a third of the time when I try to create an entry and most of the time when I try to edit an entry I get to the editing screen and the BODY field won't accept a cursor. I can click into the TITLE field and start one or edit that, but the BODY field is dead space. I have to quit MT and come back. If I wait at least 5 minutes it seems to solve itself.
Odd!

Make sure that you are accessing your site with the appropriate URL (as specified in your config file).
For instance, if your config file says that your site is located at www.crankyprofessor.com, make sure you use the "www" in front. By the same token, if your site is at crankyprofessor.com (no www), don't use it.
There are other causes, but that's the most common one that I've seen.
.....That seems to be working!! Thanks very much! --MCT
