How do I change keyboards?

I must be going crazy because none of the usual methods used to change keyboards are available that I can see. I've enabled ICS keyboard in settings but I still get the sense keyboard. Long pressing an input field doesn't bring up the settings to switch.

So what am I missing?

Try going to settings/applications/all and finding original keyboard. Maybe uncheck it if it is default?

When you've a keyboard on screen, pull the notification bar down and there's an option to change keyboards there.

Drove me crazy at first too, I couldn't for the life of me work out how to change it.

Thank you! That was driving me crazy. Not a welcome changre, HTC.
lus is it me or is there no way to pull the notification shade down in landscape with the native browser?

It's not just you, when in landscape, you lose access to the notification bar completely.
