Spacebar issues started this morning. - dfrecore - 10-27-2016
Hi moderators,
Suddenly, around 10am today, I started having problems with this site. If I hit "Reply with Quote," and try to respond to someone underneath the quoted area, I cannot use my spacebar (typing works fine except the spacebar, so all the words run together). If I start a thread, or respond to a thread, everything works just fine. And if I reply to quote, and then write within the quote area, or ABOVE the quote area, everything is fine. It only seems to be a problem if I try to do it beneath the quote area.
Can you tell me if you did something special today to the website?

I'm not a mod, obviously, but it doesn't look like anyone else is having this problem. Are you having the same problem on other sites that use vBulletin?

No idea, since I don't know what vBulletin is. But since it's only on a very specific place on the page, I thought the moderators might have been doing something to the site this morning that caused something.

Dfrecore, mine is working fine (it's 7:26pm) maybe it was a glitch this morning?

Try a different browser? Are you able to paste in text with spaces in it?

Using a different browser now, and it seems to be working! I wonder what is going on? I was using Chrome before, now I'm using Safari.

Try disabling all of your Chrome extensions and re-add them one by one to find the offending extension. Chances are you recently added an extension, or an extension was updated, that's causing the issue.

Well, if I had a clue what "adding Chrome extensions" was, I guess I could do that. But since I don't, I guess I will stick to Safari or else just typing above the quote for now.
But thanks for the help, I'm glad no one else is having trouble with this. It's good to know that something crazy happened with my computer all of a sudden to do this weird thing, all on it's own! NOT! banghead

I've seen this complaint on three other sites. I think one runs custom code, and the other two are Vbulletin, but release unknown. I also didn't pay attention to browser, addons or O/S, which all could be causes if they pushed out a patch to any one or more of them.
