Why does my space bar not work when sending messages; but works when entering this post?
The space bar also hasn't worked for me for quite a while now when replying with a quote to a thread. I have to quote the person, close that box and then copy and paste that quote into a new window. Only then will the space bar work. Or don't use the quote button and just type your new message. This was happening before this new format.
If we're making a list....the word wrap function in the reply box doesn't appear to be working. It will jump to the next line in the middle of the word..hard to read/edit when 1/2 the word stays on the upper line.
All in All....so far it's impressive !!
If you encounter the non functional space bar problem simply click on the "Go Advanced" green button on the right hand side down below the window and you will return functionality to the space bar. This bug is a real pain in the "BAR"
At the bottom of each post is a "reply with quote" button. At the end of the quote,move your cursor down a line or two. When you type your first word if the space bar doesn't move,use your mouse to move the cursor one line down,then back to where you were. That should restore the space bar function. It seems to be a problem with Google Chrome's last update and it's a PITA.
My understanding of the spacebar issue is that it's a browser bug. That's why the upgrade did nothing to fix it. It happens to me too, I'm using Chrome. What are you using?
The quick fix is to hit enter then backspace, that should get your spacebar working again.
I use Firefox and it works fine for me.

I have Tapatalk but never use it. I tried it for a while but didn't find it as user friendly (for me anyway) as the mobile version this forum came with. It was OK before in the mobile version, but now it automatically goes to mobile, and visually I think it looks great. Seem user friendly however I just tested trying to add an attachment and the page was messed up. iphone 7+ on latest ver. of Safari.Quote:

It is an issue with Google Chrome and the editor. Unfortunately a huge task to correct and, as of right now the team at VB are not planning on addressing it in this version. When the forums are upgraded to v. 5 it should be fixed. Unfortunately that upgrade is a chore as well and time does not allow for that at the moment.Quote:

I will keep an eye out for a fix from a third party to see if I can resolve the issue.
Unfortunately that is an issue with the Theme and we have no time line for a repair of that as it will take time to customize it. We apologize for this.Quote:

Let me know if that solves the issue. You may lose some controls from the WYSIWYG editor in order to have this issued fixed.
