When replying to a thread, I am occasionally receiving an error message along the lines of “text does not fit” or something along those lines. This happens when I begin typing, and my words aren’t wrapping and aren’t showing. If I hit “go advanced” before I receive the error message, it shows the text I typed that was previously not showing. This only started happening today. Is this possibly a board error, or a browser error?

Never heard of this before – can’t be sure what’s going on.

What browser are you using, btw?

Anyone else seeing this?

I’m on my Blackberry browser. I haven’t had any trouble viewing the SDMB with it before, and it’s pretty much all I use. My “quick reply” field also seems to have disappeared from every thread. I guess if no one else is having this problem, it’s just my browser or something, eh? Curiouser and curiouser…
