Anyone else having problems with the web site?

If I reply with a quote, I'm unable to enter any spaces until I hit a return. This has been going on for a couple days now.

I'd suggest updating your browser and Java and see if that helps.

You shouldn't need Java for anything unless you're writing software code. That's one huge security hole. And it certainly isn't needed for this site or any other site. If you hit a site that says it needs Java, you better RUN! JavaScript is NOT the same as Java. Scripts should be handled by the browser in native mode--No other software required.

I experienced slow typing in the past on another forum. I think it's caused by a site monitor (big brother). It eventually stopped on it's own. About the only irritant I get with this site is the constant notice to turn on Flash so Google can track my usage for analytics. I opted out but they still collect the data. I only allow Flash for a handful of sites. This ain't one of them.

I tried to reply last night and totally failed to. Have been on a couple of other forums before hitting this one tonight and they worked fine and this one is accepting my typing much better. No idea why or what the issue was.

As I mentioned, it's probably a keystroke monitor in vBulletin (The software for this forum). If you're running IE-11 browser and know a little HTML, you can click on Tools > F12 Developer Tools and see the HTML code for the page being displayed. This is how I learned of the Google Analytics code using Flash Player. Google claims that if you "opt-out", the data is collected but not used. Yeah, right.

Below is a snip of the message I get for every page I visit on this and some other sites. I get this notice even when there's no video on the page. I've run like this since the early XP days when it seemed every HTML coder learned about Flash Player. I got sick of all the blinking ads all over pages I visited so I turned Flash off for all but a few sites.
