Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Using a tablet triggers browser gestures

無名   August 26th, 2011 5:53p.m.

Hi

I'm sort of interested in purchasing a subscription. I say sort of, because when I tried the demo, I noticed one very annoying thing.

In Internet Explorer 9, the built-in gestures (flicks) will cause backwards/forwards navigation to happen when making quick pen strokes even if they're directed at the writing area.

Is there any way the navigation history can be cleared before writing practice starts? Perhaps auto-opening it in a new browser window without toolbars or something?

Thanks!

[PS: Please, no browser bashing. It's not constructive.]

You can disable flicks in the control panel, and then Skritter works fine.

There's a guide to setting up Wacom tablets (if yours is one) here:

You can manually open the window in a new browser tab, which will then have no forward or back history. Does that solve the problem with flicks?

In general, I think disabling flicks is a better solution, unless you already use flicks?
