Bob Myers Posted December 30, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2016 Running Chrome browser on 'puter at work, tried this at home, same problem on IE & Chrome. It is only on the VR website that I see this. If i reply to a PM my spacebar does not work. After typing out message I can use arrows to go back to where word should have break and space bar works. Has any one else seen this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snyper316 Posted December 30, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2016 Here is what I do when I run into problem with the spacebar I type out my first word and press enter then backspace and my problem goes away. Jeff I also use firefox, But mainly use the google because it syncs up with my phone. Now if I could completely delete google from my phone I would use firefox, I have soo soo soo much disabled in my phone that I either can't use, need a subscription, or just don't need it. It is beyond annoying replacing phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Myers Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Here is what I do when I run into problem with the spacebar I type out my first word and press enter then backspace and my problem goes away. Ok, that certainly works around the problem. I just answered a PM and used your idea. After first word, hi tenter then backspace and all worked well. Why does this work?

bongobobny Posted December 30, 2016 Share #8 Posted December 30, 2016 Yes, there was a thread about this just a few weeks or so ago. Myself I just kept typing to the end and then put the spaces in afterwards. Minor butt pain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 30, 2016 Share #9 Posted December 30, 2016 I would like to correct the problem but so far, I've been unable to duplicate it with Safari or Firefox. Will try IE when I get a chance. Don't have Chrome at all. Tried it once and didn't care for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyper316 Posted December 31, 2016 Share #10 Posted December 31, 2016 I would like to correct the problem but so far, I've been unable to duplicate it with Safari or Firefox. Will try IE when I get a chance. Don't have Chrome at all. Tried it once and didn't care for it. That is putting it lightly and the problem just did it to me. Just trying to reply, I hate Chrome but as I said if they didn't jam pack phones with Google crap I would use firefox all the time. For some reason also if you open chrome then open task manager, chrome uses alot of resources.... Firefox hardly puts a ding in your memory as chrome eats the crap out of it!!!

Freebird Posted December 31, 2016 Share #11 Posted December 31, 2016 OK...though I have been unable to replicate this issue, I did find some information about it on the VBulletin forum. VBulletin is the company who writes our forum software. This problem is confirmed and many VBulletin users have reported it. It apparently started with a recent update to Google Chrome. They claim that it is a bug with their browser and that they do not need to fix anything on their end. Most users have offered this solution for now. Just hit the "enter" key before you start typing a reply. That will probably move you down one line but the spacebar is said to work if you hit the enter key first.

That is the thing I hate most about google apps, They like to fix things that aren't broke. Actually any app for that matter My Netgear Genie app was running good up till the last update now it crashes, My parental controls block me from things that shouldn't be blocked.I run mine on the minimum and a few other devices that adults own, and the kids are on High. Earlier this year Someone had mentioned motorcycle porn in a thread and wouldn't let me access the thread so I ended up using my phone to get around it. It blocks parked domains and it was identifying several forums as blocked domains. So I was left with no choice but to turn off Parental Controls and Access Control until they fix the issue. Rather a pain I don't see a point in updating something that is already working just fine because it seems every time they do this something stops working as it was. I know they have beta testers before the final build is released. I was for microsoft on the games systems but no longer really do much because most of it lately has been needing testing on stuff I don't have. Top that they didn't listen to my feedback anyways for instance they put Cortana on Xbox One, I do not like her and can not disable it. They have yet to tell me how to disable her on this computer. I wished I could go back to my Xp Pro... I am really missing Windows 7 now too. Never thought I would say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragtop69gs Posted December 31, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 31, 2016 I was having the same problem, thought it was my wireless keyboard, I threw it away and hooked up a wired board. Still the same issue! Damn! Threw away a good keyboard 😢 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
