I have this problem only in PM's. Have to type a period twice, then put my cursor between the periods. Then I can write normal. Thought it was just me. Can see now, it's not. HELP Administrator!!

I am having the no space between words issue too.

Chrome or Safari on my iphone both do it. The spacebar will not work, but if I hit return to start a new line and go back to the first line it works.

Only happens on PM's, not posting to the forum. Happens on every device I use.

I updated last night and no difference.
Count me in for this as well.
Unfortunately the only things I can offer are work arounds. Try hitting enter at the start of a reply, then spacebar. Do this first before trying to type. The issue is the old java script CKE editor that vBulletin uses. Typical vB fashion, they've washed their hands of it since it's not their code causing the problem. (Chrome security has outdated the script and is causing the issues. I've inserted the CSS workaround here, but it's hit or miss on what browsers will be happy with it. It's a little technical, but here's the official word from the vendor https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/for...ooting/4356452-space-bar-not-working-on-reply )

I have had problems uploading pictures and large Tm's since the last upgrade?

Is their a size limit or time out?
Not really related to this topic, but there's both. (Size and timeout) There's a size limit invoked due to the hosting company. Then there's a timeout feature for safety reason. The timeout is there because if a user tried to upload something and lost connection, a process would remain running. If someone was using a cell connection or some other "unreliable" means, you could see where this becomes an issue. Basically spawning multiple processes and bringing the server to a crawl. Anyhow, what size was the file? The problem with the timeout is that everyone has different internet connection speeds. So there's not a "good" number I can set the timeout to accommodate everyone.
