    I saw a notice that suggests pressing Enter first to get the spacebar to work again if you're using Chrome. However, the spacebar still does not work when quoting a post IF your reply is after the post. If it's before it's not a problem and you don't have to press enter. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone else annoyed by this.

    Spacebar works here no problem.

    Just push enter before you start typing after the quote box...
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    That'ddoesn'tworkeither.

    You need some text, then an "Enter" and then it will let you space it out.

    Another thing that works is text before the quote instead of after.

    The guys at vB are not planning on updating their software.

    The only other solution would be to disable the rich text editor reply box.

    So BFC isn't going to fix this? No other VB site seems to have this issue?

    It's really annoying. Pressing enter doesn't always work right away as the OP noted. So your sitting there smashing the enter key and going back and forth until something works.

    BFC really seems to have a lot of issues with their forum software that doesn't seem to be an issue elsewhere.

    IMGUR, this enter issue, Bot's constantly popping up, Panjo (who's bright idea was that - they should be fired!).... list goes on.

    Imgur isn't a bfc problem, it's on imgur's end.

    Pretty sure that's not true since IMGUR works on every other forum... I did some digging a while ago about the issue... MFC was hot linking images which is against their TOS... so BFC is blacklisted... Obviously this could be resolved, but that doesn't seem to be what BFC is about.

    In all honesty this forum is really bad for glitches and bad VB practices.
